Having a glaze or glassy appearance; smooth and shiny like glass or ice (archaic or dialectal).
Archaic or dialectal variant, likely derived from 'glake' or 'glaze' with the common English adjective-forming suffix '-y' or '-ky,' used to create descriptive qualities.
The '-y' and '-ky' endings were medieval English's favorite way to turn nouns into adjectives quickly, which is why old texts are filled with words like 'glaky' that feel poetic but have mostly disappeared.
