Observe the peculiar manner in which they ambulate!
Observe the peculiar manner in which they ambulate!
The entire group, with one accord, pursued the agricultural engineer's spouse;
She, in turn, retaliated both quickly and effectively by amputating their posterior appendages with a large blade typically used in cleaving the muscle tissue of animals which have been prepared for ingestion by cooking.

Portuguese/Catalan/Italian: ablepsia
Spanish: ablepsía (at least I think, I didn't find it in the RAE dictionary), it could be ablepsia, though. Spanish sometimes has a weird way of accenting words. Need some help here!
French: ablépsie
Romanian: ablepsie
