Hi there,
I think "обморок на ногах" is the same as "подкосились ноги" which means
"his/her legs gave way beneath him/her," or "his/her legs gave way under
him/her."
(see http://www.multitran.ru/).
I hope it helps.
Cheers,

Subject: [SEELANGS] translation of obmorok na nogakh?
Hello Seelangers,
would anyone happen to know the English equivalent for the term "обморок на
ногах" [obmorok na nogakh] ? A woman in my P'etsukh work appears to have
seen a ghost, and uses the term in an attempt to explain away the
occurrence. A friend suggested I use waking/walking faint, and I have
looked into things like waking dreams, lucid dreams, just plain sleepwaking.
It's such a simple term in Russian, I'm hoping not to have to resort to
anything too technical in English. Any suggestions would be great, on or
off list. I hope my Russian font came through this time. Thanks in advance,
Krystyna S.
