My comment:

I guess there´s a spelling mistake in the original !!!!

"reBelarse" sounds exactly the same as "reVelarse". However, it makes by far much more sense in the context.

It comes from rebel/rebellion and it has nothing to do with the veils or reveal.

Hope it helps. :=)

his body resisted or fought back

My comment:

I think it's reBelar...not revelar...details details...even authors get confused and it is a common typo

he swallowed some water, his body resisted it and he coughed....

Thanks Barbara, but it's just his head that's being pushed under the water in a trough. The verb "revelar" in this context doesn't make any sense. I thought it might be an expression I never heard of - unless it's a typo and should be "rebeló": his body rebelled, causing him to inhale (water).

His body rebelled/reacted forcefully, then.

Or possibly, "his body emerged from the water," since he would have to be out of it to cough.
