How you walk after a few too many bottles of Red Horse. Or how an old, rickety wooden bridge feels when you cross it. It's that unstable, wobbly movement that makes you feel like things are about to fall apart.
ROOT MEANING: wobbly
This is the completed aspect (past tense) of the verb. It describes an unstable, side-to-side motion. Often reduplicated as 'gumiray-giray' for emphasis.
