Tanımlar (İngilizce)

   “Plants rais’d with tenderness are seldom strong, Man’s coltish disposition asks the thong [i.e. whip], And without discipline the fav’rite child, Like a neglected forrester runs wild.”

2. sıfat Tall, thin and awkward (especially of an older child or adolescent).

   “He had a tangle of shock hair, the colour of wool; his mouth was a grin; although as strong as a horse, he looked neither heavy nor yet adroit, only leggy, coltish, and in the road.”
