Verb

vela (present velar, preterite velade, supine velat, imperative vela)

to be undecided, to hesitate, to do nothing because one hasn't decided on which action to take (with disapproving connotations)
Ska det velas hit och dit så blir det inget.
If people are going to vacillate, then it won't happen.

Kan han sluta vela eller?

The supine is the same as for vilja (“to want, to will”), which is the opposite of being undecided. Puns are made of this.
