Dear English- and Spanish-speaking linguaphiles!
I want to translate from Russian into English and Spanish names of pictures by my friend, artist. One of them shows a man in an oared boat and called "Грёб, грёб, грёб". "Грёб" is not a dictionary word, it's a noun formed from verb "грести" (to oar). It may denote one movement of oar, similar as one step when walking. I ask you to find a most suitable translation for this word. Thank you.
