Dis ook wat die WAT se^.  Ek haal aan:

"Op so 'n wyse dat, by 'n kar wat goed dra en by 'n flukse gang, die
disselboom ritmies teen die draaghout klop; vandaar, op 'n stywe, egalige
draf of pas, met 'n flink, vlot gang."  (ook viguurlik).

Terloops, daar is omtrent 80 lemmas wat die vorm *dissel* het.
