ὀλολύζω

Ancient Greek

Alternative forms
  • ὀλολῡ́ττω (ololū́ttō)

Etymology

Onomatopoeic reduplicated formation, with the same ending of ἰύζω (iúzō, “to shout, yell”). Similar formations, genetically cognate or of identical structure, are Latin ululō (“I howl”), Sanskrit उलूलि (ulūli, “a howling, crying aloud”), Lithuanian uluti (“howl”), all with u. Beside these stands this verb, with dissimilation ο-υ or perhaps ablauting to ἐλελεῦ (eleleû, “woe, alas”).

Pronunciation
 

Verb

ὀλολῡ́ζω • (ololū́zō)

  1. (especially of women) to cry aloud to the gods in prayer or thanksgiving, either with jubilant voice or in lamentation
