zvongonyoka​


means either serpentine, rectilinear, sidewinding, or concertina movement. For instance, the way snakes or some creatures without legs move on the ground. A synonym for zvongonyoka is zvonga.

Example:​

Nyoka hadzina makumbo saka hadzigoni kufamba sedzimwe mhuka dzepasi dzizhinji. Asi kuzvongonyoka ndo mafambiro adzo dzakananga kwadzinenge dzagaya.

Snakes don't have legs so they can't move like other land animals. They move where they want to go through serpentine locomotion (or by sliding from side to side along the ground).
