Resembling, characteristic of, or relating to a crane; having qualities similar to a crane bird.
From 'crane' plus the adjective-forming suffix '-y' (as in 'rainy', 'cloudy'). An informal or dialectal way of describing something as crane-like.
The '-y' suffix is so casual and productive that you can almost turn any noun into an adjective—'weather-y', 'bird-y', 'crane-y'—which is why it's beloved in children's books and informal speech where creativity trumps formality!
