- ankle; ankle joint
Meaning
Nature wheels her soundless footstep on the ankles of her feet at X.7. The explicit ποδῶν makes bodily joints the local meaning, not the gaming knucklebones also associated with the noun. The image gives movement a concrete articulation while the neighbouring adjective removes its sound.
