or ambiparilous :lol: The ous ending is added which means "pertaining to" or "contains the quality of"
ambiaequusous sounds kind of slobbery :lol:
Or how about ambimanous meaning both hands? As opposed to bimanous which means two hands. One would think someone who is ambimanous is also bimanous.
Man -- my brain hurts from remembering my classics class from two decades ago.

When my friend, Steve (who has OCD) begins speaking about branches of philosophy and won't let me get a word in edgewise, I always tell him he's hurting my brain. Just need to share that!
Now, if I were to write this with my (right) hand it would go numb and I'd have to resort to learning how to write with my left hand!occb said:

well you are supposed to tye a falconry knot with your left hand but you try teaching someone who is left handed to do it
the reason yo tye it with your left hand is that it stems back to the middle ages when you had your sword in your right hand and your falcon in your left
but thats back in the days when falconry was the sport of kings
trouble is 4000 yrs hasnt altered falconry that much
