MOURINJIN: (MOR-in-JUN): n. a specific type of keening, native to the Caddo Indian tribe, in which the mourner interlocks his fingers behind his head and thrashes his elbows together while crying out loudly. This, of course, helps trememdously with the crying part, and produces a lovely "wah-wah" effect.
