lament, wail (feminine imperative)
A rare verb of lamentation appearing only in Joel 1:8 as a feminine singular imperative: 'Wail like a virgin dressed in sackcloth!' The Aramaic cognates ܐܶܠܴܐ and אֲלָא support the meaning of wailing or mourning. Joel calls Judah to ritual grief over agricultural devastation. The feminine address personifies the land or community as grieving woman. Related to the interjection אַלְלַי expressing sorrow.

1. sense 1 — Commands communal mourning over the locust plague's destruction in Joel 1:8. The feminine imperative addresses either personified Zion or the women who lead ritual lamentation. The simile 'like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth' intensifies the grief's quality—personal, raw, inconsolable. The French vers-moi and German zu-mir mistakenly read as preposition + suffix, but the Aramaic cognates confirm this as mourning terminology, echoing אַלְלַי's sorrowful cry. 1×
