claudō close clāvis key, bar, bolt kliudyti to hamper, obstruct cló nail *(s)kel- *(s)klewd- *(s)kleh₂w-

verb Strong class 2 to bolt, lock to shut, close Of uncertain origin. Traditionally derived from Proto-Indo-European *(s)klewd- (‘to lock’), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kleh₂w- (‘nail, hook, pin, key’), from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kel- (‘to crook, bend’), and compared with Latin clāvis (‘key, bar, bolt’), Latin claudō (‘close’), Lithuanian kliudyti (‘to hamper, obstruct’), Old Irish cló (‘nail’). Kroonen, however, considers the word restricted to Germanic, and leaves its origin open, while Orel tentatively connects the word to *lūtaną (‘to bow down’).
