Forgotten English Friday comes again.


murmled - "A man or beast is said to be murmled about the feet when going lame; sometimes murbled. —John Jamieson's Etymological Scottish Dictionary, 1808"


Despite this, Googling finds it more commonly used these days to mean something between mumbled and murmured.
