meaning: hypervenerate #1 (permalink) Wed Apr 21, 2010 4:05 am   meaning: hypervenerate
 

Hi everyone
I am asked to translate a psychology report and have a problem with one word, hypervenerate.

I know venerate means worship, but it doesn't make sense in the sentence I am translating now. The sentence is as follows:

"According to the mother, David would cry uncontrollably at times, hypervenerate, and shake violently"

The mother was asked to describe what David was like when he was a toddler. Then, she answered as above.

Could anyone tell me the meaning in this context?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I think it must be "hyperventilate"(NOT hypervenerate) which means to breathe too quickly or too deeply, so that you get too much oxygen and feel dizzy.

Hi Morteza
Thank you very much for your reply. You must be right! Yeah, I thought of spelling error or something but did not come up with hyperventilate.

Thank you again!
