clypt

--Connel MacKenzie 20:01, 20 June 2007 (UTC) You cannot tell the meaning from the quotes - "played dominoes" would also fit. The OED has the verb clype meaning to gossip, or tell tales. SemperBlotto 21:18, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

• 1888 -- Francis Burton: A Plain and Literal Translation of the Arabian Nights' Entertainments: Now Entitled the Book of the Thousand Nights (Page 357) [1]

  and therfore she ran to him, and played dominoes with him, and kyst him, and for joy fille doun to the erth, as she had be ded.

This is just an old spelling of clip (well, clipped), which does indeed have this meaning. It's in Shakespeare quite a lot too. Widsith 14:36, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

...so I've changed this entry to an {{obsolete spelling of}}, but I've left the quotes on this page. It might be worth copying one or both of them to the clip page too, since we have no cites for that sense at the moment (probably because I've only just added it). Widsith 15:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
