Crungle

Crungled is a word that appears in Caves of Qud. The definition of this word in this usage is to be in a strange state (negatively); to feel exhausted, or worn, often due to a poor sleep schedule. In shorter words, to be ****ed up; makes you feel like "bleearrrghhh". This also appears in its verb form, which is to make something crungled.
