To me, it sounds something has started to hurt you but hasn't finished yet.
Like if someone stabbed you, and you could feel the point of the blade cut
into you, but at that moment you know your attacker is still pushing the
blade deeper. Or if someone were breaking your arm, and you could feel the
bone fracture, but it hasn't yet snapped. That's what I'd think if I heard
you say <jIrIQlI'>.
