she.mam denotes being appalled in the single attested verse, though the translation does not isolate it.

The single attestation presents the term as a verb in a clause whose specific contribution is not isolated by the translation; Daniel 4:16 instead renders the surrounding judgment with a changed human heart and a beast's heart.

    In Daniel 4:16, the form אֶשְׁתּוֹמַם֙ is a Hithpoel perfect, third masculine singular verb. The APB renders the verse's surrounding clause, “Let its heart be changed from that of a man, and let the heart of a beast be given to it,” but does not provide a one-to-one rendering that isolates this verb.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Daniel 4:16, the APB translation presents the surrounding change from a human heart to a beast's heart, but it does not isolate a corresponding English rendering for the term.
