Making a loud, prolonged cry or howl; the act of howling at or around something.
From 'be-' (prefix meaning around or about) plus 'howl' (from Middle English 'houlen,' of imitative origin). The prefix 'be-' intensifies or directs the action around an object or in an extended manner.
The prefix 'be-' is a hidden gem in English—it once created verbs meaning to cover or surround something with an action, so 'behowling' would be howling around or about something, though this particular word is quite archaic now.
