Do clojure variables have Lisp-like properties?

I'm taxed with porting a mess of old Lisp code into the 21st century.
I came across Clojure and think maybe it might be the avenue of best approach.
I am an absolute newbie to Clojure.

The Lisp code makes extensive use of symbol property lists.
Do Clojure symbols have property lists? Or something that "works" as a property list?

In Lisp, I could say:

(put 'fly 'verb 'transitive) ; The Verb property of "fly" is "transitive".
--> 'transitive
(put 'fly 'noun '(a buzzing little bug)) ; The Noun property of "fly" is "a buzzing little bug"
--> (a buzzing little bug)
(get 'fly 'verb) ; Show me the Verb property of "fly"
--> transitive
(symbol-plist 'fly) ; Show me all the properties of "fly"
--> (verb transitive noun (a buzzing little bug))

Does Clojure support symbol property-lists?
