Keening

The character in the novel was portrayed as a keening figure, forever yearning for redemption and forgiveness.

The traditional keening at the Irish wake added an emotional element to the farewell ceremony.

As the funeral procession passed by, the sound of keening echoed through the streets.

The injured bird emitted a keening cry, signaling its distress.

The chilling keening of the banshee sent shivers down the spines of those who heard it.
