> 同時に, 胸の奥を **ひやりと** 冷たい手が撫でる

So in theory ひやりと is an adverb, which means it should be able to modify either
冷たい or 撫でる.

These are my interpretations of the sentence, considering the possibilities:

> 1)At the same time, a blood-curdlingly cold hand touched my heart
>
> 2)At the same time, a cold hand touched my heart, sending shivers down my
> spine

So what is it, and how can I tell?

question
grammar adverbs
Adverb confusion
I think the latter (2) is the better interpretation because _a)_ ひやりと冷たい
("chillingly chilling") sounds fairly redundant in isolation, and _b)_ most
adverbs usually modify verbs.
