clapperclaw

Now these rival rogues will clapperclaw one another, and I shall have the sport of it.

No, I'd not have, upon my life, Great Alexander for my wife, Nor Pompey, nor his dad-in-law, Who did each other clapperclaw.

To comb one's head; to clapperclaw, or scold any one: a woman who lectures her husband, is said to comb his head.

But sooth the other was a doughty sparhawk   To clapperclaw him well; and both of them   Fell in the middle of the boiling pond.
