  4. I found the word in a scientific publication from 1962. From the wording of the sentence I got the feeling "vibronically" was analogues to "laterally", i.e. he moved laterally. Well, when molecules move from one vibrational state to another they shift vibronically. But I guess you could dance vibronically... and be shaken vibronically. When I dance it's probably vibronically.
