To howl at or make howling sounds toward something; to express through howling.
From 'be-' prefix plus 'howl.' Like 'behoot' with hooting, this follows the pattern of adding 'be-' to animal sounds to create verbs, though it's essentially extinct.
Words like 'behowl' show that medieval English speakers were creative about turning animal sounds into verbs with 'be-' prefixes—imagine saying 'the wolves behowled the night' instead of 'howled through the night.'
