[Archaic] [1913 Webster] The cruel ire, red as any glede. --Chaucer. [1913 Webster] From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 [gcide]: Glede \Glede\ (gl[=e]d), n. [AS. glida, akin to Icel. gle[eth]a, Sw. glada. Cf. {Glide}, v. i.] (Zool.) The common European kite ({Milvus ictinus}). This name is also sometimes applied to the buzzard. [Written also {glead}, {gled}, {gleed}, {glade}, and {glide}.] [1913 Webster] From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]: Glede an Old English name for the common kite, mentioned only in Deut. 14:13 (Heb. ra'ah), the Milvus ater or black kite. The Hebrew word does not occur in the parallel passage in Leviticus (11:14, da'ah, rendered "vulture;" in R.V., "kite"). It was an unclean bird. The Hebrew name is from a root meaning "to see," "to look," thus designating a bird with a keen sight. The bird intended is probably the buzzard, of which there are three species found in Palestine. (See {VULTURE}.)
