gangrel
gangrel (GANG-gruhl) - n., a lanky, awkward person; a baby just learning to walk, toddler; a vagabond, vagrant.
Was British dialect, now largely Scottish only with the last sense. It's attested back at least to the 14th century, from Old English root gangan, to go, which is also the root of gangling.
