Definition
To rock or tilt unsteadily; a small wooden or clay vessel or a rounded stone; to wobble or balance precariously.
Etymology
Possibly from Old Norse 'kögr' (peg/support), with the '-le' suffix suggesting a diminutive or iterative action. It describes unsteady movement or an object that tips easily.
Kelly Says
A coggle is that feeling when you sit on a wobbly stool—except it can also be an actual ancient small pot! The verb captures that tippy-toppy movement perfectly.
