SIBI-P1 Translation H2479-01
paralyzing trembling
| Morphological Notes | Feminine singular common noun, absolute state; reduplicated formation for intensity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The reduplicated noun form intensifies the root idea of weakness and inner collapse, expressing an overwhelming bodily trembling brought on by extreme fear or pain. "Paralyzing trembling" preserves both the visceral shaking and the sense of weakening inherent in חלל. |
