It should not be confused with the Grand Glaize Creek which is a tributary to the Meramec River in St. Louis County, Missouri.
According to the Missouri Department of Natural Resources the lowest flow that could be expected in a 10-day period is 16 cubic feet (0.45 m3) a second.
The Ohio site also mentions that it could be a Native American term for 'fallen timbers' or 'overgrown with brush', or French 'at the (salt) lick'.
In addition, in Arkansas there is a creek and mountain Glazypeau, from French glaise à Paul 'Paul's lick'.
The assumed indigenous American (Algonquian) "'fallen timbers' or 'overgrown with brush'" has no support without any attested etymons supplied and would not match phonetically in the case of Shawnee.
