What's the difference between undulate and undulatory?
Undulate
Definition:
(a.) Same as Undulated.
(v. t.) To cause to move backward and forward, or up and down, in undulations or waves; to cause to vibrate.
(v. i.) To move in, or have, undulations or waves; to vibrate; to wave; as, undulating air.
Example Sentences:

Undulatory
Definition:
(a.) Moving in the manner of undulations, or waves; resembling the motion of waves, which successively rise or swell rise or swell and fall; pertaining to a propagated alternating motion, similar to that of waves.
