Difference between 振る and 振るう?

Question:


Difference between 振る and 振るう?
What's the difference between the two verbs?

And one more. I'm given to understand that in japan, they are considered an adult as of the day they turn 18. But watching steins gate, I mean the anime, I just realized she said "I'm still underage" while she maintains she's 18. Here I'm a little confused. Where am I mistaken?

Answer:


振る is just to shake physically.
振るう have more additional active nuance.
It basically means to shake/exert something to give some impact/influence.
