:Undulate and fartlek (yuk!) are characterized by a cycle, a variation, an alternation, an oscillation. Incidentally, my dictionary gives "swing" as root menaing of "oscillation". I wonder if the ancients built swings for children's recreation?

How do you like to go up in a swing, Up in the air so blue? Oh, I do think it the pleasantest thing Ever a child can do!
Up in the air and over the wall, Till I can see so wide, River and trees and cattle and all Over the countryside--
Till I look down on the garden green, Down on the roof so brown-- Up in the air I go flying again, Up in the air and down!
I wonder when the see-saw was invented.

Beware of the man with a series of two cases. "lek" is interesting in its own right: n. an area where certain male animals, as the male of the prairie chicken, gather to perform their courtship displays
