† ˈglibbery, a. Obs.
[Corresponds to Du. glibberig (not found in MDu.), late MLG. glibberich (mod. LG. glibbrig). Cognate forms are Eng. glib a.; Du. (dial.) glib curds; Eng. glibber a. and v. = Du. glibber adj., glibberen vb.; cf. also Du. glippen, glipperen to slip, slide, glipperig slippery. It is possible that the words may stand in ablaut-relation to OHG. gleif sloping, oblique, or that they may be onomatopœic formations suggested by the wk. grade glid of Du. glijden, Eng. glide v.; cf. glidder.]
Slippery; fig. shifty, untrustworthy.
