How to say "emotion, feeling" in Arabic

Root ع-ط-ف / ע-ט-ף means 'to bend, incline, wrap around'. Arabic turned the bending toward someone into affection and emotion in general (ʿāṭifa); Hebrew עטף kept the physical image — the soul 'wrapping, growing faint' under strong feeling (Jonah 2:8: בְּהִתְעַטֵּף עָלַי נַפְשִׁי, 'as my soul fainted within me'), not the abstract sense of 'emotion' itself. Klein connects the two roots directly, but since 'general feeling' and 'physically wrapped/faint' are distinct senses, this is a shared root with a drifted meaning rather than a one-to-one match.
