verb
Paul cried when they took his mother away
Don't cry over spilt milk
Her hair is so untidy it cries out for trimming. Wanton murder cries out for vengeance
noun
I heard the mournful cries of those being tortured
Uttering blood-curdling cries, the rebels attacked
The noise was the cry of the lesser grebe to its mate
'Down with the king!' was the cry used to rally the rabble
This report is a far cry from what I had expected
