[Callers] another new word idea

[Andrea Nettleton via Callers]

I love this!  And it has a playful kind of sound, despite its technical origin. :-) reminds me of jabberwocky somehow...

You could even spell it "Gymbal" if you liked.  ;-)  This also has the same number of syllables and starts with the same letter as a bonus.  A gimbal is a pivoted support that allows the rotation of an object about a single axis, so it also makes some sense with respect to the movement being named.  It is sometimes used as a verb, as in the movement of rocket motors used for guidance, as well as being a noun.
