rolig Well, since it's Nabokov, there could well be a Slavic solution. In Slovene the verb gugati means "to rock"; a gugalnik is a rocking chair, while a gugalnica is a swing. The Russian word for "to rock or swing" is different (качаться / kachat'sya), but I wondered anyway if there was a cognate. It turns out that Dahl's mid-19th-c. dictionary includes the word гугала / gugala (from a northern Russian dialect) which means "swing" (noun) and, indeed, the verb гугаться / gugat'sya, "to swing". So I would suggest that Nabokov playfully Englished this as "google", meaning something like "sway back and forth". Jan 20, 2012
swimsuitissue emilybee I imagined Ada googled like googly eyes google: a goofy and round fumbling. Jan 20, 2012
emilybee What do you think VN means by googled on page 86 of the 1990 Vintage International Edition? "Ada mounted it (a hot bicycle), uttered a yelp of pain, almost fell off, googled, recovered--and the rear tire burst with a cosmic bang." Jan 20, 2012
