Whoa-ho, wait a minute, now I'm TOTALLY lost. I just looked up
"ungulate", and it did NOT have ANY meaning I've ever associated it with. Is
there any word that sounds like "ungulate" which means to move up in down in
a jerky manner, like to describe the way an octopus swims through water? It
ungulates, or so I thought... :(....
