Why this word is great
EJULATION — [Noun] A wailing, crying, or lamentation. From Latin eiulātiō, from eiulō ("to wail, lament"). Unlike "lamentation" (a broader term for expressions of grief) or "ululation" (a high-pitched, often ritualistic cry), ejulation is the raw, unvarnished sound of sorrow—a voice frayed by grief. It is the keening of a widow at a graveside, the muffled sobs pressed into a pillow at midnight, or the distant cry of a child lost in a crowded market—a sound that needs no translation, for its meaning is written in the very bones of the listener. To hear it is to know, instantly and irrevocably, that something irreplaceable has been torn away.
