Greek display:    

Headword: *klaggh/
Adler number: kappa,1697
Translated headword: screech, screeching
Vetting Status: high
Translation:
A certain cry of a bird.[1]
Also [sc. attested is] enopĂȘ ["cry/crying"]: [sc. both are] names of sounds.[2]
Greek Original:
*klaggh/: poia/ tis fwnh\ o)rne/ou. kai\ *)enoph/, h)/xwn o)no/mata.
Notes:
[1] Likewise or similarly in the Synagoge and other lexica; see the references at Photius kappa755 Theodoridis. As LSJ s.v. notes, klaggh/ is primarily associated in Homer with cranes. See also kappa 1698.
[2] The two nouns are famously used together in Homer, Iliad 3.2 (quoted under epsilon 1390): "the Trojans came on with screeching and crying, like birds" (web address 1) -- surely the passage that has prompted this addition to the entry.
