Some verbs that express body- internal states of existence (Levin's encoding of this subclass of verbs, 1993: 223) are used to express extreme feelings. This is a subclass of the above-mentioned class of verbs. They describe a physical state of the subject that is a reflex of a particular psychological state as
indicated by Levin (ibid). For example: An assertion of believers' great fear when they listen to the verses of the Qur'an and what it expresses of what awaits disbelievers, they shudder and tremble. The Qur'an says: Taqša؟eru min-hu guluudu l-aziin yaxšawna rabba-hum (39: 23)
Whereat shivers the skins of the ones apprehensive of their Lord. (Ghali, 2008: 461)
Wa aqtaraba al-wa؟d ul-haq fa?za hija šaxesatun ?bsar ul-aziin kafaru ya waylana qad kunna fi ğaflatin
min haza bal kunna ðalimiin (Qur'an :21- 97)
And the True Promise has drawn near. So, only then do the beholdings of the ones who disbelieved keep glazing over! O woe to us! We were already in a state of heedlessness of this; no' indeed we were unjust! (Ghali, 2008: 330)
Wa iz zağat el- ?absar-u wa balağati l-quluub ul ħanaje r(Qur'an : 33-10) And as beholdings swerved and hearts reached the larynx. (Ghali, 2008: 419)
This verse shows another body part verb to express great horror. The first is related to the eyes with which they stare or look fixedly. Moreover, their hearts lurch up or move until they reach their larynx.
To express even greater horror on the day of Judgement, the Qur'an says:
Wa ?anzer-hum yawma al-?aazefati iz el-quluubu lada al-hanajeri kaðim-iin (Qur'an :19- 39)
And warn them against the Day of Imminent (Doom) as the hearts are close to the larynxes and they are repressing (anguish inwardly) (Ghali, 2008: 308)
Here, their hearts lurch up until they reach the larynx and get jammed there. They will be choking the throat. They do not either return to their places or get out and consequently they die and get rid of this horror.
