"klaips" meaning in Latvian

See klaips in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [klàjps], [klâjps]
Etymology: Cognates include Lithuanian kliẽpas (“loaf”), and possibly Proto-Germanic *hlaibaz (English loaf, Gothic 𐌷𐌻𐌰𐌹𐍆𐍃 (hlaifs, “bread”), Proto-Slavic *xlěbъ). Possibly ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *kʷel- (“to turn, move”) nominalized to mean "disk, wheel, circle" (from the same root also Latvian kakls) because historically bread was a round, thin, hard flatbread. From the zero-grade Proto-Indo-European *kʷl-eyp- : *kʷl-oyp- > Proto-Baltic *kleip- : *klaip- whence the two Baltic terms. Karulis notes that it has been a wandering Kulturwort as well, in Eastern Europe the word was spread during Gothic migrations and has thus been borrowed into Slavic with its Gothic meaning of "bread," while the Baltic languages retain the original meaning of "loaf." Another view (Būga, Otkupščikov) is that the word is an inherited Baltic word from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kel- (“to cut”), Karulis is critical of this proposal because the brittle flatbreads of the time were not sliced, pieces were simply broken off from them. Finally, an alternative view (Endzelīns, Trubačov) is that the word is a borrowing from Gothic.
