Distinctly-

• I remember distinctly the
• first prairie wind that came
• scampering along.

The teacher spoke distinctly so that everyone
would understand the instructions.
Distinctly- clearly or specifically

zephyr

• The zephyr sneaked around the house to the back
  door.

The zephyr made the trees sway.
Zephyr- the west wind

trifling

• That thieving wind was apt to make off with it,
  leaving us with a trifling hole in the ground.

The judge threw out the trifling case because she
had important matters to deal with.
Trifling- little or not important

Rambunctious-
The rambunctious wind blew down many trees.
The rambunctious children ran wildly around the
playground.
Rambunctious- active and noisy in a violent way
