         DefinitionShort: beating the breast and lamenting as an expression of sorrow{N:001}

         Glosses: ['mourning', 'lamentation']

         Comments: In a number of languages it is entirely impossible to use an expression such as ‘to beat the breast’ in referring to mourning or grief, since ‘to beat the breast’ is often employed as a gesture of self-congratulation or pride in accomplishment. In a number of instances the closest equivalent of ‘to beat the breast’ is ‘to beat the head’ or even ‘to pull out the hair.’
