Actually, "sliz-" is the root of the word "slug" in Russian, which is pronounced something like "sliz-NYAK" or "SLEE-zen" (with a soft "n"). It also reminds of the word "Slytherin" how it is usually reproduced in Russian (Slyzerin).

It's the same word, only we pronounce it "kloob" :-).


zanooda, who has no idea what the "-nort" part of the name means :-).
