Summary/Abstract: Greek κλεισούρα ‘narrow passage: mountain pass’ and its continuants (Church Slavonic клисоура, Bulgarian клисỳра, Macedonian клисýра, Alb. klisyrë and, perhaps, SCr. клùсура) are shown to reflect Late Latin CLŪSŪRAM > Proto-Romanian *kľisură ‘closure’ rather than the Late Latin CLŪSŪRAM itself, as is almost universally assumed.
