Lurky

This form of personal attachment and spatial transformation is particularly evident when Pat Purdy talks about the 'lurky place' where the kids would seek refuge.

The children's ideas were creative responses to the lines of the original: a lurky stream, dark, muddy, soil coming up from the bottom.

Since the red-back is highly venomous and since it is a lurky little bastard and since we all had kids of an age to poke their fingers into every possible spider-refuge, this was a worrying time.
