bramer

to bellow; to troat (make the cry of a deer)

Usage

A specific hunting/nature term for the belling call a stag makes during the autumn rut (le cerf brame). Rare outside that context, though occasionally used figuratively and literarily for a person wailing loudly.

Examples
  • On entend les cerfs bramer en forêt à l'automne.You can hear the stags belling in the forest in autumn.
  • Le brame du cerf attire de nombreux promeneurs.The stag's belling call draws many hikers.
  • Ce mot est presque exclusivement lié à la chasse.This word is almost exclusively tied to hunting.
Common mistake

Bramer is essentially fixed to describing deer during the rutting season — don't use it as a general word for animal cries or human shouting, where crier or braire would be more natural.
