Why “reboation” is a great word
REBOATION — [Noun] A loud reverberation or echo, especially of a bellowing or roaring sound. From Latin reboare ("to bellow back, resound"), from re- ("back, again") + boare ("to roar, bellow"). Unlike an "echo" (a general repetition of any sound) or a "reverberation" (a prolonged series of decaying reflections), a reboation is the singular, resonant answer to a deep cry. It is the mountain's response to a bull's challenge, the cavern's reply to a lion's roar, or the second, deeper crash of thunder that answers the first—the world’s own formidable voice returning to claim a share of the noise made in it.
