glo, to CLEVELAND DIALECT. 323 shine, to glitter ; O. N. ploo, A. S. glowan, O. Germ, glojan, E. Dial, glow, to stare, &c. ; and, through some cognate form to glomma, we get Dan. D. glum, fear-inspiring, scowling ; glummende, nearly answering to our glum, glumpy ; N. S. glummen, to look sullen or vengeful ; glum, thick, of the water or the atmosphere ; gloomy, therefore. Mr. Wedgw. adds, ' Prov. Dan. glomme, Swiss glumsen, to glow in a covert way, as coals beneath the ashes ; E. gloom ; a condi...tion of covered light : gloming or gloaming, the time of day when the light shines obscurely from below the horizon ; like a person looking out from beneath his brows.' Grloore, glore, v. n. To stare with fixed look, to gaze intently. Spelt also Gloar, Glower. Sw. D. glora, to stare, to gaze intently ; N. glora, to stare. The original meaning of O. N. glora is to glare, as with excess of light, to glow as burning coals ; in which sense N. S. gloren, Dut. gloren, Swiss gloren, glaren occur. ' He gloored wi' baith een.' Wb.
