How to translate "stone whizzing"

Hi,

I'm trying to come up with a poetic translation of "stone whizzing" (imagine a rockball flying through space, asteroid flying fast through vastness).

Would any of these terms be correct? Or any other?

石嗖

石咝

石砉

Thanks a lot!

Emmm, 【noun.(石) + verb. 】is not a common structure of words in Chinese.

The term "stone whizzing" makes me think of two expressions: "飞沙走石”、“石破天惊”，however they are not exactly corresponding.

0     Hi, thanks a lot for your response, I know it's not ideal, I tried to find the simplest way to say it, but I'm still a beginner in Mandarin.. -- Martin Slechta 4 years, 11 months ago

Do you have to translate it into a two-character word?

I suppose "石头呼啸着划过天际” will make sense.

0     Hi, thank you for your answer, I tried to find the simplest way and translate it with 2-3 words. I know Chinese has many phrases (which me being still a beginner can't possibly even think of), so I tried to reach out for help. Thanks once more! -- Martin Slechta 4 years, 11 months ago

How about "啸石"？

The book Wuthering Heights is translated into 《呼啸山庄》，seems it's a well-accepted translation.
