 cleave. The Columbia Guide to Standard American English. 1993
For the participial adjective of this verb, American English uses either cloven (a cloven hoof) or cleft (a cleft palate).
Cleave (1) is a transitive verb, from Old English cleofan; its principal parts are cleave, cleft, clove, or cleaved, and cleft, cleaved, or cloven, and it means “to divide or split”: His ax clove [cleaved or cleft] the oak logs easily.
As the divided usages indicate, this cleave is a strong verb beginning to adopt weak verb forms as well, and all its uses seem to have a rather literary or perhaps even an archaic flavor.

 More on Morphology of the Artiodactyla
Artiodactyls are characterized by the presence of two enlarged toes forming a cloven hoof; the hoof of a goat or cow is anatomically the enlarged third and fourth toes.
To lengthen the legs, hoofed mammals evolved digitigrade locomotion: that is, they walk on their toes.
A great many living artiodactyls have evolved features that are adaptive for life on open grasslands.

Food (typically grass or other plant material) is swallowed, partially digested and fermented, and then regurgitated for further chewing — "chewing the cud." This allows symbiotic bacteria and protists that live in the stomach to break down tough plant material that would otherwise be indigestible.

Pg 57 "A cloven-hoofed demon was beckoning her to join it in her own personal inferno." With any other author, this might be chance, but with Steve Lyons it's surely no coincidence that this sentence refers to two Pertwee stories (and the Cloven Hoof was the pub in The Daemons).
The fluid links caused them trouble in The Daleks and the chameleon circuit first jammed in in An Unearthly Child (or Time and Relative).
Presumably an in-joke, especially since The Daemons features a white witch in the form of Miss Hawthorne.

 What Does the Bible Teach About Clean and Unclean Meats? > The Good News : July/August 1997
Leviticus 11:3 says, "Among the animals, whatever divides the hoof, having cloven hooves and chewing the cud-that you may eat." This verse taught us that tigers and elephants are unclean because they do not have a divided hoof.
Since these animals were not specifically mentioned in Leviticus 11 or Deuteronomy 14, we learned to look for the identifying characteristics that showed which animals were acceptable for human consumption.
In God's sight, refraining from eating unclean animals is an identifying sign of the holiness of those who have been set apart through a relationship with Him.

 Unclean animals - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Her theory was that pigs were declared unclean in Leviticus because pigs' place in the natural order was ambiguous since they shared the cloven hoof of the ungulates, but did not chew cud.
Pigs are considered non-kosher ("unfit" or "unclean") in the Old Testament "though he divide the hoof, and be clovenfooted, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you."
These are the animals considered to be unclean according to Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 (it should be noted that the translations of some of the aforementioned animals from the Hebrew are a matter of dispute in classical Jewish commentaries.
