overflow, be astir — to bubble up, boil over, stir with words or emotion
This verb means to stir, move, or overflow, used in Psalm 45:1 where the psalmist says 'my heart overflows with a good word.' The image is of something bubbling up from within, like boiling liquid. Aramaic and Syriac cognates suggest creeping, moving, or fluttering, while the Talmudic usage connects to the movement of lips in speech. The French translation 'bouillir' (to boil) captures the sense of something bubbling forth, here applied to inspired speech that wells up from the heart.
