I think this agrees with Del-Blue and repeats an earlier comment of mine, that maybe we should stop defining and explaining the term crow hop and just focus on what is illegal:
- pushing off from anywhere but the pitching plate or
- rocking : "Raising the foot off the pitching plate and returning it to the plate" or
- in NFHS, replanting
- leaping, etc.

My understanding of "replant" is lifting, dragging or otherwise moving the pivot foot and ending up with it "cleats down" before the release of the pitch. I'm tempted to find a dictionary that defines "plant" in a way that sounds just like "push off"; but no time. The difference is not entirely clear. Then we could answer the Dakota question of "Can there be a replant without either a leap or a push off?", but we should give up on the "for a crow hop" part.
