If you think of things in a macrocosm way then everything seems so small.

brachiation- Swinging by the arms from branch to branch.

Tarzan swung in his brachiation way as he came to rescue Jane.

branchiate- Having arm-like appendages or swinging by using just the arms from tree to tree.

Tarzan was strong from swinging in a branchiate manner.
