• rillend

Seemingly from Middle Low German and/or Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value). The verb may have existed in Middle High German, but only a strong past participle gedrollen (“round”) is attested. The Upper German dialects have a verb trillen, which is probably a variant of drillen (compare Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) and trillen; English thrill and trill).
