EN: crooked; twisted; wriggling
Imagine trying to draw a straight line after three bottles of Red Horse – that line is "kiwal". It's also the movement of a worm, or how you might squirm ("kumikiwal") in your seat when your boss asks for that report you forgot to do. It’s the opposite of anything straight, orderly, or chill.
Can describe a state (crooked) or a motion (wriggling, squirming). As a verb, it becomes "kumikiwal".
