rustles
Dry leaves sound
Rustles is the sound of light, dry things brushing against each other—leaves in wind, paper being handled, fabric shifting.
The word captures soft, whispery friction: She rustles through the papers on her desk.
To rustle is also to steal livestock, especially cattle.
A rustler moves animals quietly, quickly, before anyone notices.
