- one's tongue cleaved to the roof of one's mouth
у него (у неё и т. д.) язык к гортани прилип Job XXIX, 10, Psalms CXXXVII, 6]
But glancing up suddenly, he found her eyes fixed on him, suspicious and hostile, in silence they stared at each other. His throat turned dry and his tongue glued itself to the roof of his mouth. (A. Saxton, ‘The Great Midland’, ch. 24) — Внезапно взглянув на Стефани, Дейв поймал на себе ее настороженный, враждебный взгляд; они молча смотрели друг на друга. У Дейва вдруг пересохло в горле и язык прилип к гортани.
