Number: 978

Root: k̂lep- (sk̂lep-?)

English meaning: to cover, conceal, steal

German meaning: `verheimlichen, verstecken, stehlen'

Material: Gr. κλέπτω (*κλεπι̯ω) `stehle' (κέκλοφα, ἐκλάπην und ἐκλέφθην), κλέπος n., κλέμμα (daraus lat. clepta), κλώψ, κλοπός, κλοπεύς `Dieb', κλοπή `Diebstahl';

lat. clepō, -ere `heimlich wegstehlen';

got. hlifan `stehlen' (hliftus `Dieb');

mir. cluain (*klopni-) f. `Betrug, Schmeichelei', cluainech `trügerisch';

apr. auklipts (*-kl_eptós) `verborgen'; s. auch unter klēp-.

Mit anlaut. sl- aus skl- scheint verwandt lit. slepiù, slė̃pti `verbergen'.

Die Bedeutung macht wahrscheinlich, daß k̂lep- Erw. von k̂el- `verbergen' ist; mhd. hulft `Köcher' scheint geradezu Tiefstufe unserer Wurzelform zu sein, wie apr. auklipts; apr. auklipts zeigte dann westidg. Guttural.
