çekim: geçmiş none · ortaç клеча́л · şimdiki клечи́ · ulaç клеча́щ
köken: Inherited from Proto-Slavic *klęčati.
Куп мла́ди и хубави селяни и няколко такива куманки в шалва́ри клеча́ха до стена́та.
На самия бряг на острова клечеше кучето.
Цяла седмица ще клечиш там, но ще гледаш да се срещнеш.
From Middle Dutch huken, possibly by metathesis from a form *huck(e)ren, frequentative of hucken (“to crouch”). Of obscure ultimate origin, but perhaps from the root of words like hoog (“high”), heup (“hip”), heuvel (“hill”), or ultimately related to Proto-Indo-European *gew- (“to bend, curve”), similar to Ancient Greek γυρός (gurós, “round”).
