EN: wobbled unstably, swayed continuously
This is 'gumiray' on steroids. It's not just one wobble; it's a whole series of them. Think of a Jenga tower seconds before it collapses. Or that feeling when you're on a bus driven by a Fast & Furious wannabe on a bumpy provincial road.
ROOT MEANING: wobbly
A reduplicated form of 'gumiray' that emphasizes the continuous or severe nature of the wobbling. This is the completed aspect (past tense).
