MED and OED cite a handful of attestations (several of which, but by no means all, are from the N/EM and/or alliterative contexts), the earliest of which is c1350 Of alle þe witti (Add 45896). EDD cites instances of the MnE adj. glave only from the N, the n. glaver from the N and Sc, but its instances of the v. glaver are widely distributed.
