Use "wailings" in a sentence
"All of the sudden, there were animal shrieks and wailings from the street below."
"When the watch was called our wailings were loud and clamorous."
"The loudest in their wailings were the nuns, who were torn from the altar with naked bosoms, outstretched hands, and dishevelled hair; and we should piously believe that few could be tempted to prefer the vigils of the harem to those of the monastery."
