Please translate: заюлил

[siriusly]

I could not find this word in Abbyy or Oxford: in text it is translated as "sneaky". Is this correct, and what is the infinitive form.

Спасибо!

infinitive is юлить. root(base word) is noun - юла.
юла is an ancient kid toy
modern "yula"

synonym for юла is волчок. usually волчок is small and simple юла. really ancient

[JohnInVirginia]

The other, colloquial meaning of юла is "a fidget." You might call a child this if he were jumping around and unable to sit still.

Depending on the context, заюлил may mean, "started fidgeting" or "running around" or "couldn't sit still."

[Denis_RUS]

In business or meetings contexts it often means that your opponent didn’t say “Yes” or “Not”. Easily he is mark time.

Sorry for my English.
