|etymtx=Grammatical information: n.<br />Meaning: <b class="b2">twig (of the vine), sprout, tendril (of the vine)</b> (IA.); also plant-name, [[Polygonum aviculare]] (Dsc.; Strömberg Theophrastea 184); [[κλαμα]] n. (rather [[κλᾶμα]] than [[κλάμα]]) [[fragment]], [[κλάσμα]] (Aigina Va).<br />Other forms: Aeol. [[κλᾶμμα]] (Alc.; wit double [[μ]], s. Hamm Gramm. zu Sappho und Alkaios par. 73c)<br />Derivatives: [[κληματίς]], <b class="b3">-ίδος</b> f. [[twig of the vine]], [[faggot]] (IA.), also name of several plants like Clematis vitalba (Dsc.); [[κληματῖτις]] f. plant-name (Dsc.; Redard Les noms grecs en <b class="b3">-της</b> 73); [[κλημάτινος]] <b class="b2">consisting of (vine-)twigs</b> (Thgn.), [[κληματόεις]] <b class="b2">id.</b> (Nic.), [[κληματώδης]] <b class="b2">full of twigs, like vine-branches</b> (Dsc., Gal.), [[κληματικός]] [[belonging to a vine-branch]] (Gloss.). Denomin. verbs: [[κληματόομαι]] [[sprouting]] (S., Thphr.), [[κληματίζω]] [[clip vines]] (LXX).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Connected with [[κλάω]] (s. v.?), but with diff. ablaut and agreeing with Lat. [[clā-d-ēs]] [[damage]], but this meaning does not fit a [[sprout]]. For [[κλάω]] we did not find evidence for a long [[α]]. I concluded that the verb is rather of Pre-Greek origin.The form [[κλάσμα]] may rather belong to [[κλάω]]. Cf. on [[κλῆρος]]. Wrong Prellwitz KZ 47, 302.
