ulutate--to lamant loudly and shrilly. This is a sound that many middle eastern women and native american women do. Did you ever see Lawrence of Arabia? There is a scene where he is going out with the men of the bedouin tribes and all the women are lined up along the cliff faces and are all ululating. Because she was a hound mix, she had a half bark, half bay that sounded just like these women when they made this particular sound. It was her "hoobie scoobie" bark. She only did it as an alarm that there was something not kosher out there!
