crawls
Inches ever forward
Crawls is usually the verb crawl in third-person singular: a baby crawls before walking, traffic crawls during rush hour, time crawls when you're bored.
The noun crawl has a plural: the various crawls of competitive swimming, or the text crawls scrolling across news screens.
A pub crawl visits multiple bars in sequence; We did several crawls last summer.
