A Piel consecutive imperfect verb appearing only in Judges 5:28, where Sisera's mother 'cried out shrilly' through the window, anxiously watching for her son's return from battle. The verb captures a high-pitched, penetrating sound—somewhere between calling and lamenting. The irony is devastating: she waits for a victorious return that will never come, her shrill cries anticipating the lament they should become. This single occurrence makes maternal anxiety into a sharp, piercing sound that contrasts with the battle's brutal reality.
