Swallow one's words

Swallow one's words

Skipped words. Spoke quickly and unclearly.

("One who blesses for many while skipping and swallowing words should bless when receiving the portion in hand" – Birkhei Yosef, Mafteach HaInyanim, Orach Chaim; and: "He hurried in his prayer and swallowed a few words, so that his evil inclination would not distract him" – Agnon / Ad Hineh, HaMalbush, 248)
