#shout

• Hunting clamor — A powerful shout, uproar, or loud noise made by beaters during princely or boyar hunts to scare and drive game out of hiding places. In a broad and regional sense, the term can designate a noisy outburst, an uninterrupted clamor of voices, or a harsh urge, historically used in descriptions of hunting parties in medieval Moldavia.
• Traditional shepherd call — A rare regional term encountered in Transylvanian or Maramureș dialects, historically used to designate a drawn-out cry, a long traditional shout, or an onomatopoeic refrain woven into shepherd and outlaw songs. Its phonetic structure served as a communication signal across valleys or as a marker of grief and longing in traditional oral poetry.
• Alala — The Greek mythological personification of the war cry, structurally considered a minor deity (daimon), daughter of Polemos (war) and constant companion of the god Ares on the battlefield; by archaic and culturological extension, the term designates the powerful, rhythmic, and terrifying onomatopoeic cry uttered in chorus by ancient Greek soldiers (Athenians or Spartans) at the moment of the charge, meant to phonically saturate the space and cause psychological panic within the enemy ranks.
• Alalagmon — A loud cry of joy, a solemn exclamation of triumph, or a sound of alarm mentioned in ancient religious texts and early biblical translations; a collective vocal manifestation of a sacred or festive nature, found in ecclesiastical writings to describe a sonorous praise addressed to the Divinity or a ritual trumpet signal. This rare term preserves a structural value as a lexicographical archaism used to render states of maximal spiritual exultation.
• Alalah — Alternative spelling form or exclamatory variant for the term 'alala', designating the ritual battle cry or its personification in ancient Greek tradition; a warlike onomatopoeia structurally used to phonetically simulate the impact and mobilization of troops at the moment of attack. As a minor mythological entity, it represents the terrifying echo of armies marching toward enemy lines under the patronage of the god Ares.
• Oh look — A popular exclamation used in Wallachian, Oltenian, and Dobrogean regional dialects to express wonder, surprise, sudden fear, despair, or a gentle mourning. In musical and choreographic village folklore, this interjectory element serves structurally as a rhythmic shout during traditional dances or a lyrical anchor meant to draw the participants' attention.
• Aleulau — An archaic and regional term used in Romanian folklore, particularly in mountainous rural areas, to designate a ritualic shout of alarm, a prolonged wailing, or a local mythological bogeyman used to frighten disobedient children. As an interjection, it expresses a state of profound fear, mourning, despair, or wonder mixed with dread.
• Aleves — An archaic and regional term recorded in Transylvanian folklore, used as an exclamation or ritualic shout intended to express sudden surprise, a state of wonder mixed with anxiety, or alarm in the face of an unexpected event. In certain old micro-regional contexts, the word was functionally assimilated as an expressive call, similar to popular interjections used to capture attention or signal imminent danger.
• Inciting shout — The result of the action of inciting or urging animals and its result; a rhythmic shout, a specific vocal command, or a whistle through which dogs are urged to attack or chase game. In a broader sense, the term can also denote the state of provocation or incitement of a group of animals artificially brought into a phase of controlled aggressiveness.
• Assa — A specialized term or ritualistic shout encountered in the study of ancient and folk cultures; (in traditional Balkan or Oriental choreography) a rhythmic interjection used to urge dancers forward; (rarely, in Oriental archaeological contexts) an ancient coin or measurement unit historically used in Asian basins.
• Shout — An old regional graphic variant, phonetic archaism, or historically tolerated spelling in certain rural communities for the noun 'hazăr' (or a popular derivative from the Balkan stock), defining a state of alert, quarrel, alarm, or a ritualistic shout traditionally used to ward off evil spirits or guide animals. In the context of folk customs, this conceptual pillar marks the spontaneous and expressive manifestations during seasonal holidays, preserving a pure connotation linked to the local dialect.
