_Clekit House_ (Vol. iv., p. 473.).--With reference to this Query, I beg
to suggest the following explanation. In Scotland, a _cleek_ signifies a
hook; and to _cleek_, is to hook or join together: thus, a lady and
gentleman walking arm-in-arm are said to be _cleekit_ together. The word
is in full use at present, and has been so for centuries; and I think it
not improbable that at the time the will referred to was written, the
word might be common to both countries. On this supposition the meaning
would be, that the "two tenements" communicated with each other in some
way--probably by a bridge thrown across--so as to form _one_ house,
which obtained its name from their being thus joined or _cleekit_
together.
