In English, the word "sudden" started out by having an association with terror and gradually became neutral. Similarly "pith'om" and "petha" in Hebrew underwent a similar transition. The root "bt" indicating the seizure of a person by some terror is said to be identical, originally, with "petha". (p2f)
When the Lord spoke suddenly to Moses, Miriam and Aaron, it has threatening overtones because of the rebellion of Moses' siblings. (p3)
