inclined/bowed his head Explanation: من لسان العرب: وعَطف الشيءَ يَعْطِفُه عَطْفاً وعُطُوفاً فانعطَفَ وعطَّفه فتعطَّف: حَناه وأَمالَه، شدِّد للكثرة. من المعاني الجامع: تعطّف الغصن: مال وانحنى ''تعطَّف العودُ''. https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B7%D9%81/ Reference: http://www.baheth.info/all.jsp?term=%D8%AA%D8%B9%D8%B7%D9%81 |

His face flooded with colour, filled with shame and shattered into tiny pieces Explanation: My understanding is this is all about his FACE not his HEAD and emotions of shame related to the videos his dad, the judge and uncle Saeed came to find out and watch later on. There is an entry for تعطف in المعجم الوسيط as تَعَطَّفَ أَشْفَقَ عليه; hence the suggested above. |
