Keening

The mournful keening of the women in black veils set a somber tone for the entire funeral procession.

The keening smell of rotten eggs filled the kitchen, indicating a gas leak.

The lonely lighthouse emitted a keening beam of light that swept across the dark sea.

The haunting sound of keening echoed through the village as news of the tragedy spread.

The keening mother held her child's lifeless body, overcome with grief.
