wing-beating the skies
Explanation:
.. searching for the race wing-beating the skies

ik ga ervan uit dat met "volk" het "vogelvolk" wordt bedoeld, namelijk vogels "wieken" en doen dat vaak op grote hoogten

"hoogtenbewiekend" wil dan zeggen "het volk dat hoogten bewiekt"

wiekslag = vleugelslag = wing-beat

wiek = vleugel = wing

wieken: zich op wieken voortbewegen, vliegen
