Reesetee: that seems to imply it doesn't belong on my Kipling list, if there is actually a verb with infinitive "to stot". Because a baby antelope might answer: "I've never stotted".
AND: (for the noun stot) a springing gait of certain bovids, as gazelles and antelopes, used especially when running in alarm from a predator; or (for the verb stotting) to run with such a gait.
Hmm. Definitely a problem. What if you don't count baby antelopes? Might that help?
