"That hollow feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when you're doing
something, have done something wrong, and somehow know you can't reverse
it."
I really wish I had a word for that.

Two *possible* words in Tech are "t-adamiyya" or "h-adamismus" -- the
feminine definite article is (a)t- and the masculine is a(h)-, from Adam,
the man who ate the fruit from the wrong tree. It was guilt literally felt
in the pit of his stomach.
