Unyieldly

The stiff and unyieldly limb was of no use in Indian raids.

Over a million mom-and-pop stores in this unyieldly system use political power to slow the expansion of efficient, large-scale retail businesses. In many cases orders must be delivered by bicycles through back alleys too narrow for cars.

Such explosion-proof motors also necessitate the use of explosion-proof cables which are also more costly and heavier and are also more unflexible and unyieldly.
