- footstep; track
Meaning
The Curetes tread lightly and the nymphs are light of foot, while Nature turns a soundless track with her feet at X.7. The noun can mark an individual step or an ongoing course. These motions give an embodied quality to divine activity, but do not by themselves preserve a sequence of human dance steps.
