chiro-chiro
A tiny flame barely clinging to life — the last bit of a candle guttering, or a small pilot light dancing. Delicate and almost ready to go out.
💡A candle nearly burned out — 'The flame was chiro-chiro, about to die.'
ろうそくの火がちろちろと揺れている。
The candle flame flickers chiro-chiro weakly.
The dying candle ___ flickered before finally going out.
