... der Name "Kleier" stammt von der Arbeit mit Kleiboden ab (abgeleitet von "kleben", auch engl."clay": Tonerde), kleien. Ein Kleier war ein Tagelöhner, der Gräben in der Marsch aushob bzw. reinigte.
...aber: möglicherweise ist es aber auch alles ganz anders, denn ich habe dies hier gefunden: "klein [bedeutet], das Getreide zusammenraffen. Vgl. afrapen. Dazu Kleier, der das Getreide zusammenrafft, hindern Meier (Mäher) geit de Kleier." ...hmmm ...wo kommt der Name nun eigentlich wirklich her?
