מוּג verb melt ( ᵑ7 מוּג Ithpe`el, Ps 46:7; Ps 107:26 compare Arabic [untranscribed source text 2912] surge (of the sea), Qor 18:99; [untranscribed source text 2913] a wave);
in view of prevailing figurative use, and of Arabic
[untranscribed source text 2914](
[untranscribed source text 2915]) be in tumult, commotion, of sea, people, be agitated,
perplexed, it is perhaps dubious whether melt is original meaning;
be moved, agitated is usually possibly, and even Amos 9:13; Ps 65:11 (both late), where (especially Amos)
moistening is suggested, this may be perhaps derived from agitating, loosening,
dissolving.
