Notes: [{'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that θρηνέω[a] should be classified only in Domain 52 Funerals and Burial, in view of the fact that θρηνέω[a] may in many contexts suggest a formal type of ritual expression.'}, {'Caller': 2, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'ὀδυρμός ({D:52.3}) apparently differs in meaning from θρηνέω[c] ({D:52.2}) in being less institutionalized and focusing somewhat more upon the wailing at funerals, while θρηνέω[b] denotes the singing of a dirge (see {D:33.115}). See also {D:33.116} and {D:25.141}. The meanings in Domain 52 differ in that they reflect ritualized wailing.'}]

         Comments: For another interpretation of θρηνέω in {S:04202302700026}, see {D:52.2}.|Mourning and wailing for the dead are frequently expressed by a term very different from expressions employed in referring to events not involving death.
