Forhow

/fɔrˈhaʊ/ interjection

Definition

A variant or related archaic hunting cry or exclamation, possibly a form of 'forhoo' with sound variation.

Etymology

Related to 'forhoo' and similar hunting cries. The 'ow' sound may represent a different pronunciation or dialectal variant of the same original cry used in medieval hunts.

Kelly Says

Trying to understand these hunting cries is like trying to write down a laugh—everyone spells it differently (haha, hehe, hehehehe), so we get multiple versions of 'forhoo' that might be the same cry.
