I always believed that there were none, but on a rewatch of QI, I learned there are actually two:

  • Hurple / hirple: To limp (verb) or a limping gait (noun)
  • Curple: A strap under the girth of a horse’s saddle to stop the saddle from kicking forward.

    A horse that was wearing a curple,
    Found the sting of a wasp made him hirple,
    Said the horse, “I don’t mind”
    “But I’m starting to find,”
    “That the spot of the sting has turned purple!”
