Comments: | Wondered the difference between 這いずる and 這う. There is perhaps less difference than I would have thought. sankoku defines 這いずる as: 這って進む. So... crawl forward? But once you add 回る, they seem pretty indistinguishable. sankoku specifically has entries only for 這いずる and 這いずり回る. (and not, for example, something like 這いずり出る). Intriguingly it does *not* have an entry for the analogous 這い回る, though it has lots of other compound verbs beginning with 這い. |
