hailed
Called out to
Hailed is the past tense of hail, which has two main clusters of meaning.
To hail someone is to call out to them or signal for their attention: She hailed a cab.
To hail something is to acclaim or praise it enthusiastically: Critics hailed the film as a masterpiece.

Separately, hail refers to frozen precipitation—when it hails, ice pellets fall from the sky.
