see N, Z.
Chinese dicts seem to take great care *not* to define this word too precisely.
I have looked at Z examples, "hesitating" seems insufficient.
In the context I find it (too long to quote), the person was pbly mumbling her
grievances, not hesitating.
Diff:
+ 訥訥 讷讷 [ne4 ne4] /(of speech) indistinct/mumbling/hesitating/
