So this is movement on one legg.
It's called "hinke" in norwegian. But I can't find any English word that fits. Translating sites give limping and "bobble"
But those words are more associated "feeble and injured.
Limping would be translated as halte not hinke. |

Try "gimpy". It can apply to hapless people that collide with inanimate objects like door frames. We don't really have a word or phrase for choosing to move on one leg…unless the odds are against you in a butt kicking contest. |

We always called it "hopping"… |

It's fun to be a bunny, be a bunny, be a bunny, and hop hop. Hop hop. hop/häp/ verb 1. (of a person) move by jumping on one foot.

Wasn't this one of the races encountered in 'The Voyage of the Dawn Treader'? As for bunnies, The Velvetine Rabbit had a problem with his hind legs 'being made all in one piece' |
