UBS Dictionary of the Greek New Testament
verb | ἀνακυλίω · ἀποκυλίω · κυλισμός · προσκυλίω
16.17 · (κυλίομαι) · Non-Linear Movement
to roll about, to wallow the motion of an object rolling back and forth or rolling about It is rare that one can use in a language the same or related terms for the rolling of a person in an epileptic fit and the wallowing of a pig in the mud. The first is chaotic and uncontrolled, while the second is both purposeful and slower.
1 It is, of course, impossible for an object to roll without some movement in space; however, the focus here is not upon the linear movement of an object from one place to another by means of rolling, but simply the motion in and of itself, and any movement in space is irrelevant.
