Commentary

Patronym in -al- in the dative from a name klanos uel sim. Delamarre 2007: 216 lists an onomastic element klano- as second element of a few dithematic names and in clanius (Langres). Alternatively, glanos could be connected with the root *glano- 'clear' (OIr. glan, s. DLG: 180, Matasović 2009: 160), which, however, is onomastically attested mainly in toponyms; personal names are glannionis (gen., Köln), glanio (dat., Meixedo) (s. Delamarre 2007: 105).
