godan verb (-ru), intransitive verb
coil; curl around; become tangled
Rare, literary, or archaic use for physical coiling or tangling, such as a snake coiling or roots becoming entangled. In modern Japanese, this physical sense is largely replaced by other verbs like 絡まる or 巻き付く.
In old texts, a snake coiling around a tree is sometimes described as わだかまる.
