Discussed by Okrand:
More frequently, the appreciation of music is expressed in terms of
something that music does to the listener rather than in terms of
the listener's reaction. Thus, music is said to embolden ({jaqmoH}),
excite (SeymoH), encourage ({tungHa'}), or to stimulate or inspire
({pIlmoH})." (KGT 71)
Re: {vIHtaH gho} "The hoop is moving":
This expression means that an activity of finite (though perhaps
indeterminate) length has started. It is used to encourage somebody
to make a decision or to perform a process more quickly. (KGT 111)
