52.3 · Funerals and Burial

wailing, lamenting ritualized wailing and crying as an expression of grief and sorrow at funerals

MAT 2:18 · 2CO 7:7

1 ὀδυρμός (52.3) apparently differs in meaning from θρηνέω[c] (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 33.115). See also 33.116 and 25.141. The meanings in Domain 52 differ in that they reflect ritualized wailing.
