cha.mar describes churning or turmoil, most clearly in the distressed bodily language of Lamentations.

The attested use centers on churning or inner turmoil: Lamentations 1:20 and Lamentations 2:11 place the Pealal perfect forms within descriptions of distressed inward parts. The Qal forms in Psalm 46:4 and Psalm 75:9 occur in verses where the translation does not clearly isolate the term's contribution, so they do not establish a further distinct use.

1. Churning or inward turmoil · dominant

   In Lamentations 1:20, the Pealal perfect plural form occurs as the speaker says, “my belly churns,” alongside a heart overturned within; in Lamentations 2:11, the same stem and form occur in the lament that inward parts are “in turmoil.” The Qal forms occur in Psalm 46:4, where the APB presents river streams, and in Psalm 75:9, where it presents declaration and praise, but the translation does not make this term's specific contribution clear.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB makes the term's context most visible in Lamentations through “my belly churns” and inward parts “in turmoil.” In Psalm 46:4 and Psalm 75:9, the translation presents the verse's larger thought without clearly identifying a corresponding English expression for this term.
