wobbling

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'teetering' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both to do with motion as well as being present participle verbs.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'arrow shooter lifts jewellery' is the wordplay.
'arrow shooter' becomes 'bow' (I've seen this in another clue).
'lifts' says the letters should be written backwards (I've seen 'lifted' mean this (going up in down clue)).
'jewellery' becomes 'bling' (informal term for jewellery).
'bow' written backwards gives 'wob'.
'wob'+'bling'='WOBBLING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wobbling that I've seen before include "Unsteady; trembling" , "Quivering" , "Unstable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
