bugle
Calls soldiers awake
A bugle is a brass instrument without valves, used primarily for military signals and ceremonies: A bugle sounded reveille at dawn.
The limited notes a bugle can play give its calls—taps, charge, retreat—their distinctive character.
To bugle is to play this instrument or, of elk, to make a similar high-pitched call during mating season.
