kluuvi

  1. (geography) A shallow body of fresh or slightly brackish water typical for some coastal regions of the Baltic Sea; a former sea bay which has been separated from the sea in the process of postglacial rebound. Typically it has no catchment basin of any significance, and it gets new water only through direct precipitation or occasionally from the sea when the sea water level is high.

Usage notes

[edit]
  • slough and bayou are somewhat similar to kluuvi, but not quite the same
  • The term "gloe" is sometimes used as English translation for kluuvi. The term is not found in English dictionaries, however, and before using it one should make sure that the audience understands the word.
