glime
To glance (at); to look sideways.
intransitive
He was gliming at her from closer range now, and in her position—for he held her still—she could not help but glime back. He looked so humble—penitent for once, yet reproachful, his own eyes moist, and, withal, the old, audacious David, that in her own despite her anger waned.
Where it comes from
Of uncertain origin. Probably from Middle English glimme (“radiance, brightness”) (whence glim), Scots glim (“glance, glimpse”) or Norwegian Nynorsk glim (“glimpse, glimmer”), all from Proto-Germanic *glīmô. Compare glim, gleam, glimmer, glimpse. The noun is derived from the verb.
