Awkward, gawky (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ungainly

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'awkward' is the first definition.
(I know that awkward can be written as ungainly)

'gawky' is the second definition.
(I know that gawky can be written as ungainly)

(Other definitions for ungainly that I've seen before include "Lacking grace in movement" , "Gangling" , "Clumsy or awkward, as nun gaily goes about" , "Clumsy, not coordinated" , "Clumsly, maladroit" .)

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