"girrodar" (girar y rodar) ver explicación

si necesitas inventar una palabra, se me ocurre esto! (sólo si va con alguna explicación), si no, me parece que tendrás que usar los dos verbos. By the way, para "spolling" puede ser "girrodante" (aunque todo suena muy raro, pero si de inventar se trata ...)

es la acción del trompo o peonza, pero no creo que se pueda describir en una sola palabra.
