吼

• 拼音: hǒu
• 汉字拆解: 口 (mouth radical) + 孔 (phonetic, meaning hole/opening) — a cry from a wide-open mouth

含义

To roar; to bellow; to shout loudly. A loud, fierce cry — from a person or an animal.

Describes a deep, powerful, and often frightening loud cry. Used for animals (lions roaring), people shouting in anger or excitement, and natural forces (wind howling). In northern dialect colloquial use, 吼 can also mean to call out to someone informally. The word often carries a sense of raw power and urgency.
