Arabic term or phrase: يخالج
Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Palestinian text, and in this scene the mother can tell her daughter is crying, but I'm struggling to pinpoint this exact verb.

Here's the sentence:

أستبين ماء عينيك يخالج وجهك، أستشعر دمعك يريد أن يحكي لكنك تخرسينه.

So is it something like, 'I can make out the water in your eyes, disturbing/preoccupying you?'
I took out face because I don't see how it works in here.

Thank you!
