<p><b>New page</b></p><div>This fabled eating utensil from antiquity weighed over a ton. It is uncertain as to whereabouts on the [[Disc]] the location of Cladh may be found, but the name suggests somewhere with a Celtic ring or resonance to it. Perhaps such an impractical object was meant as a devotional offering to [[Cephut]] or other God of Cutlery. <br />

== Annotation ==<br />
This is the first known Discworld placename that appears to have a distinctly "Irish" shape to it. The terminal "dh" is a practically silent consonant in Irish Gaelic and the name is pronounced <br />
"Cla(h)".<br />
<br />
In Wales and Ireland, there is an old tradition, shamelessly played up for the tourists, of a young man carving an ornate spoon from wood for his intended, and offering it to her in lieu of marriage proposal. [wp|Lovespoon|lovespoon]. Perhaps the great bronze spoon was a particularly ardent marriage proposal? [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lovespoon]<br />
<br />
Something similar in Ireland is called the "claddagh"<br />
