[1]:
Also cf. the ModE form "cleeiton" (Britten / Holland 1886,s.v.), which could have originated from clite by vowel elongation (Luick 1964,§393).
[2]:
Cf. Britten/Holland (1886, s.v.): "Cleats, or Cleat-leaves (1) Petasites vulgaris, Desf. ... (2) Tussilago Farfara, L."
[3]:
The spelling -ea- refers to a ME long, open -e- (cf. Pinsker 1974, §54), which cannot go back to OE -i- or -ī-.
[4]:
Grattan/Singer (1951,178, A.6): "clitan: glidan MS.CL; a less likely emendation would be glaedenan."
It is more secure to base an identification on the glosses LAPPA clite (D 40, Meritt 70,41), LAPPA clitte (Meritt, 1961, XIII/3) or ModE 'clite', which would indicate the possible meanings Arctium lappa L., greater burdock, Große Klette, and Galium aparine L., cleavers, Kletten-Labkraut.
Etymology: The ModE form 'clite', according to Wright (EDD, s.v.) [klait] besides [klit], does not allow any conclusion on the quality of the OE form, it could be possible that short and long forms were used side by side.[1] OE clīte / clite then could resemble different ablaut forms of →clāte or analogous transformations of the name clāte according to the various denominations of burdock →clīfe, →clif-wyrt, →cliþe, →cliþ-wyrt. The gloss LAPPA clitte (Meritt 1961,XIII/3) is recorded in a glossary of the 9th century and therefore cannot be a reverse spelling according to forms with shortening before double consonsant.
