Word of the (Fri)day

Its been a long time since I posted, and I figured I should do something about it.

So... the word of the day is..

clamber \KLAM-buhr; KLAM-uhr\, intransitive verb:
1. To climb with difficulty, or on all fours; to scramble.

noun:
1. The act of clambering.

Isn't this cool? It comes with a free sentence too:

At one point a whole horde of them fell over a shallow cliff. Plumes of red dust rose in the air as they struggled to clamber back up.
