Denomin. verbs: <b class="b3">κληματόομαι</b> [[sprouting]] (S., Thphr.), <b class="b3">κληματίζω</b> <b class="b2">clip vines</b> (LXX).<br />Origin: PG [a word of Pre-Greek origin]X [probably]<br />Etymology: Connected with <b class="b3">κλάω</b> (s. v.?), but with diff. ablaut and agreeing with Lat. <b class="b2">clā-d-ēs</b> [[damage]], but this meaning does not fit a [[sprout]]. For <b class="b3">κλάω</b> we did not find evidence for a long <b class="b3">α</b>. I concluded that the verb is rather of Pre-Greek origin.The form <b class="b3">κλάσμα</b> may rather belong to <b class="b3">κλάω</b>. Cf. on [[κλῆρος]]. Wrong Prellwitz KZ 47, 302.
