clayen
- /ˈkleɪ̯.ən/
Rhymes with -eɪən
Where it comes from
From Middle English cleyen, equivalent to clay + -en. Cognate with Dutch kleien (“made of clay”).
adjective
- Of clay; made of clay. It is difficult to see why silveren should have been dropped, and brazen and golden retained. Better return to stonen and clayen and yarnen, than lose golden and its fellows.
