[11] ﴿شَهِيْقًا﴾ "Zafeer" and ﴿شهيق﴾ is the name for the initial and final state of the sound made when a donkey brays. ﴿زفر﴾ means to exhale a long breath, and "zafeer" is the initial sound of a donkey's braying, which starts softly and gradually becomes louder. When the donkey is about to finish braying, the sound that starts to decrease from loud to soft is called ﴿شَهِيْقٌ﴾. According to the explicit statement of the Quran, the sound of a donkey's braying is the most disliked and unpleasant to the ears. Such a detestable sound will be produced by Hell. There are two forms of this: one is that such a sound will be produced by the boiling of Hell; the other is that those who are already in Hell will make such detestable sounds.

The Literal Meaning of ﴿تفور﴾:
﴿تَفُوْرُ﴾ ﴿فار الماء﴾ means the boiling and bubbling of water. The reason for this boiling or bubbling is not the intensity of heat, but rather the pressure of the water. If the pressure of the water from below is greater and the opening is narrow, the water leaps upward with great force. The word "fountain" is derived from this.
