         DefinitionShort: to cause something to move back and forth rapidly, often violently

         Glosses: to shake

         Comments: In some languages there are quite distinct terms for shaking, depending upon the vigor of the motion and/or the objects which are shaken. Accordingly, one must exercise care in selecting terms which will accurately and adequately represent the nature of the shaking in the various contexts. For example, in {S:05801202600030} the shaking would presumably involve some kind of reverberation, but in {S:06600601300038} the action of the wind suggests whipping something back and forth.

         DefinitionShort: to shake or tremble, often with the implication of fear and/or consternation

         Glosses: ['to tremble', 'trembling', 'to quiver', 'to shake']

         Comments: In a number of languages there are two distinct terms for trembling, one relating to illness (as in the case of epileptic seizures or the chills and fever associated with malaria) and the other associated with fear.
