Notes
Describes a motion such as attempting to move a boulder where it moves slightly, then falls back into place. Can either be transitive, heaving it in such a way, or intransitive, describing the movement of the object itself.
Repetitive motion of this kind becomes 'ekraykekrayk "bobs up and down, wobbles, nods"
