"Clywed"

Translation: To hear

[JoshMassey3]

Clywed - Hear, Gwrando - Listen?

[Nate_J]

Yep!

[andyroo93]

In Irish, hearing is clois.

[mizinamo]

And in Cornish, klywes, klewes, clewes, klowes, clowes, clêwes, clôwes depending on the orthography you use.

[andyroo93]

And, in Irish, ear is 'cluas', which looks a lot more similar to the Brthyonic words for to hear.

[NoelGoetowski]

And in English, hearing is... uh...

[Nate_J]

Probably closer to the German "hören"

[CaroLang96]

Wonder if its any relation to the old term "clouting somebody about the ear"..

[HerrArbo]

The OED thinks not:

"[From] Old English clūt (in the sense ‘a patch or metal plate’); related to Dutch kluit ‘lump, clod’, also to cleat and clot. The shift of sense to ‘heavy blow’, which dates from late Middle English, is difficult to explain; possibly the change occurred first in the verb (from ‘put a patch on’ to ‘hit hard’)."

[pspai]

I wonder what it is in Breton and manx...

[mizinamo]

Breton apparently has klevout.

[shwmae]

Manx has clashtyn.
