that splits / cracks / weaken the hearts. Explanation: انخرَعَ : انْشَقَّ / انخرَعَ : لان واستَرْخى / انخرَعَ الرَّجُلُ: ذلَّ وضَعُفَ / انخرَعَ العُضْوُ: زال عن موضعه في الجسم Elmaany explains that this term can mean to crack, to split, to relax, to weaken and to stoop. The context indicates that we are in a very tense scene. The man who's tied up is making violent movements, whether they are translated as jolts, overrides, tremors or gestures of revolt and struggle to escape from this situation. So these movements can't relax the hearts. They can... crack the hearts, split the hearts, weaken the hearts, or another expression like that. Although this term is often used in relation to fear, or astonishment, we don't know here if it comes from fear, mercy, panic, sadness, because here it's related to the effect on the hearts, without further information. So we can translate this strong effect on the hearts without adding a specific feeling. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 day 20 hrs (2020-08-15 08:54:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- (I said tied up...
