Etymology

[edit]

The present κλύω (klúō) is an innovation of the thematic aorist ἔκλῠον (ékluon), which itself innovated on the older athematic aorist (as seen in κλῦτε (klûte)), from Proto-Indo-European *ḱléwt, from the root *ḱlew- (to hear). Related to κλέος (kléos, fame) and κλέω (kléō, to make famous). Compare Latin inclutus.
