Usage: The Hebrew verb "dalag" primarily conveys the action of leaping or skipping. It is used to describe a sudden, energetic movement, often with a sense of agility or swiftness. This term can be applied both literally, as in the physical act of leaping, and metaphorically, to describe rapid transitions or movements in various contexts.
