glaise

== French == === Etymology === Inherited from Middle French glaise, glase, from Old French glaise, gloise, of obscure and uncertain origin. According to one theory, derived from Gaulish *glisa, which is attested in Late Latin glissomarga, glīsomarga (“a kind of marl, white marl”), although the precise meaning of *gliso- is uncertain. Alternatively, perhaps derived from a Germanic language, compare Dutch klei, German Low German Klei, English clay, all from Proto-West Germanic *klaij. Or, possibly from Latin glis (“thick clay, tenacious earth”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ɡlɛz/ Homophones: glaisent, glaises Rhymes: -ɛz === Noun === glaise f (plural glaises) clay (figuratively) earth === Verb === glaise inflection of glaiser: first/third-person singular present indicative/subjunctive second-person singular imperative === References === === Further reading === “glaise”, in Trésor de la langue française informatisé [Digitized Treasury of the French Language], 2012 === Anagrams === aigles, gelais == Irish == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈɡlˠaʃə/ (Ulster) IPA(key): /ˈɡlˠɨ̞ʃə/ === Adjective === glaise inflection of glas: genitive singular feminine comparative degree === Mutation === === References === == Scottish Gaelic == === Noun === glaise genitive singular of glas === Mutation ===
