quivers
Shakes with fear
Quivers names both a container for arrows and the act of trembling.
An archer carries a quiver on the back or at the hip.
To quiver is to shake with small, rapid movements—from cold, fear, or emotion: Her lip quivered as she held back tears.
A quiver of excitement runs through a crowd.
The noun can also mean a trembling motion itself: a quiver in his voice.
