Seeking two words

[Jan Ivarsson TransEdit]

In old Scandinavia the Disting was a "thing" named after "disablot", a fertility offering to the viking's "dis"-es or fylgias at the beginning of Spring. Later, it became a market feast around Candlemas, in some places held up to the last century, and at Uppsala even today.
The Walpurgis feast on April 30 is well known in northern Europe.
The Olofsmas on July 29 represented the end of an agricultural year (harvest) and the beginning of a new.

I cannot recall seeing a term for knuckle-walking. There is "dactylograde" for toe-walking. Maybe "phalangograde" could be a word?
