Word of the Day: CLIBBY

ETYMOLOGY
formed from Old English clibbor (sticky, adhesive); 
related to Old English clifian (to cleave, adhere)

EXAMPLE
“… Which tother spying well, hotly pursues his poynt,
And each proffred resistance, chops off ioynt by ioynt,
Threatning, insisting, striking, wounding, reuelling,
Till meeke disarm’d stilnes proclaim’d his conquering:
Then clibbie ladder gainst his battered flanck hereares,
And vp it him, and he it vp, slow scaling beares. …”

From: A Herrings Tayle
