| roly poly गोल-मटोल, गोल गुच्छम-गुच्छा Explanation: Roly poly in English means fat and round. It will be translated into Hindi as गोल मटोल, or मोटा-ताज़ा. The example sentence you give does not fit in with this meaning of the word. Are you sure you are not mixing it up with cartwheeling or some such term, which rolling over and over would suggest? गोल गुच्छम-गुच्छा is a term I can think of for the meaning of going round and round. We once used this term to describe the defensive action of pangolins, and even porcupines, which when attacked by a tiger or a leopard, roll up into a ball with their sharp plates or quills protruding from all directions. |

| roly poly रोली पाली Explanation: I think that Roly Poly (रोली पाली) should be transliterated. There is no suitable words in dictionary. However, गुच्छम-गुच्छा or पळटम पलटाई are other options and can be used. |
