To storm
Definition
A rare archaic or regional verbal form, structurally associated with the action of brewing a storm, producing powerful whirlwinds, or wandering aimlessly and agitatedly like a water spirit or an aliman; by extension, to revolt or shout loudly. In folkloric lexicon, it describes a dynamic and turbulent manifestation of nature or human emotional states, preserved in isolation within old native dialects.
