howls
Coyote at midnight
Howls is the plural of howl and the third-person singular verb form.
A howl is a long, loud, mournful cry—the sound wolves and dogs make, or humans in pain or grief: Howls echoed through the forest.
To howl is to produce this sound.
By extension, howls can be strong expressions of protest or derision: howls of outrage, howls of laughter.
Wind howls when it blows fiercely.
