How Do You Spell PULE?

Pronunciation: [pjˈuːl] (IPA)

The word "pule" is spelled with the IPA phonetic transcription /pjuːl/. The first sound in "pule" is the "p" sound, followed by the "y" sound represented by "ju" in IPA. The final sound is the "l" sound. This spelling can be confusing because the "p" sound is followed by a "y" sound rather than a vowel, which is more common. Additionally, the word is not commonly used in English, so it is not a familiar spelling for most people.

PULE Meaning and Definition

  1. Pule is a verb that primarily means to whimper, whine, or cry in a feeble or high-pitched voice. The word is often used to describe the sound or vocalization made by a small child or an animal, particularly a weak or frightened one. It conveys a sense of helplessness, vulnerability, or complaint.

    Pule is characterized by its soft, piercing, or shrill sound, which is usually associated with faltering or distressed emotions. It typically suggests a mild form of crying or complaining, implying a state of distress or discomfort, but without the intensity or urgency of intense sobbing or wailing.

    The term is believed to have originated from an Old English word, "pylian," meaning "to cry aloud" or "to weep." Over time, the word has evolved to its current form, pule, but has retained its original connotation.

    The use of pule is not limited to human communication. It is also employed to describe the vocalizations of certain animals, particularly those that emit high-pitched, plaintive, or wailing sounds. Examples include the whimpering of a small puppy, the cries of a newborn baby, or the plaintive call of a distressed bird.

    Overall, pule captures the concept of producing weak, feeble, or complaining vocalizations, and is commonly used to describe the sounds made by children or animals in distress or vulnerability.

  2. To cry like a chicken; to whine; to cry as a whimpering child.
