woofs

Deep dog calls

Woofs are the low, gruff barking sounds dogs make, typically as warnings or expressions of alertness: The dog let out a few woofs at the mail carrier.

As a verb, to woof is to make this sound.

In textiles, woofs is an alternate plural of woof, meaning the crosswise threads in weaving—more commonly called the weft.
