wailing ['weIlIN], destroy [dIs'trOI], heartrending ['hQ:t"rendIN], ambition [xm'bIS(q)n]
From every direction came the sound of the wailing of women whose husbands, sons, and brothers had perished in the fight. No wonder that they wailed, for over twenty thousand men, or nearly a third of the Kukuana army, had been destroyed in that awful struggle. It was heart-rending to lie and listen to their cries for those who would never return; and it made one realize the full horror of the work done that day to further man's ambition.
Towards midnight, however, the ceaseless crying of the women grew less frequent (Π±Π»ΠΈΠΆΠ΅ ΠΊ ΠΏΠΎΠ»ΡΠ½ΠΎΡΠΈ, ΠΎΠ΄Π½Π°ΠΊΠΎ, Π½Π΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠ½ΡΠ°Π΅ΠΌΡΠ΅ ΡΡΠ΅Π½Π°Π½ΠΈΡ ΠΆΠ΅Π½ΡΠΈΠ½ ΡΡΠ°Π»ΠΈ Π²ΡΠ΅ ΡΠ΅ΠΆΠ΅: Β«ΠΌΠ΅Π½Π΅Π΅ ΡΠ°ΡΡΡΠΌΠΈΒ»), till at length the silence was only broken at intervals of a few minutes by a long, piercing howl (ΠΏΠΎΠΊΠ°, Π½Π°ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π΅Ρ, /Π½Π΅ Π½Π°ΡΡΡΠΏΠΈΠ»Π°/ ΡΠΈΡΠΈΠ½Π°, ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΠ°Ρ ΠΏΡΠ΅ΡΡΠ²Π°Π»Π°ΡΡ, ΡΠ΅ΡΠ΅Π· ΠΈΠ½ΡΠ΅ΡΠ²Π°Π»Ρ Π² Π½Π΅ΡΠΊΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ ΠΌΠΈΠ½ΡΡ, ΡΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ Π΄ΠΎΠ»Π³ΠΈΠΌΠΈ ΠΏΡΠΎΠ½Π·ΠΈΡΠ΅Π»ΡΠ½ΡΠΌΠΈ Π²ΠΎΠΏΠ»ΡΠΌΠΈ) that came from a hut in our immediate rear (ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠ΅ ΠΈΡΡ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ ΠΈΠ· Ρ ΠΈΠΆΠΈΠ½Ρ, /ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΠ°Ρ Π½Π°Ρ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ»Π°ΡΡ/ Π½Π΅ ΠΏΠΎΡΡΠ΅Π΄ΡΡΠ²Π΅Π½Π½ΠΎ ΠΏΠΎΠ·Π°Π΄ΠΈ /Π½Π°ΡΠ΅ΠΉ Ρ ΠΈΠΆΠΈΠ½Ρ/; rear β ΡΡΠ»; Π·Π°Π΄Π½ΡΡ ΡΡΠΎΡΠΎΠ½Π°, Π·Π°Π΄Π½ΡΡ ΡΠ°ΡΡΡ), and which I afterwards discovered proceeded from Gagool wailing for the dead king, Twala (ΠΈ ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΡΡΠ΅, ΠΊΠ°ΠΊ Ρ Π²ΠΏΠΎΡΠ»Π΅Π΄ΡΡΠ²ΠΈΠΈ Π²ΡΡΡΠ½ΠΈΠ», ΠΈΡΡ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ ΠΎΡ ΠΠ°Π³ΡΠ»Ρ, ΠΏΡΠΈΡΠΈΡΠ°Π²ΡΠ΅ΠΉ Π½Π°Π΄ ΠΌΠ΅ΡΡΠ²ΡΠΌ ΠΊΠΎΡΠΎΠ»Π΅ΠΌ Π’Π²Π°Π»ΠΎΠΉ; to proceed β ΠΏΡΠΎΠ΄ΠΎΠ»ΠΆΠ°ΡΡ/Π³ΠΎΠ²ΠΎΡΠΈΡΡ/; ΠΈΡΡ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΡΡ/ΠΎΡ ΠΊΠΎΠ³ΠΎ-Π»ΠΈΠ±ΠΎ/).

Towards midnight, however, the ceaseless crying of the women grew less frequent, till at length the silence was only broken at intervals of a few minutes by a long, piercing howl that came from a hut in our immediate rear, and which I afterwards discovered proceeded from Gagool wailing for the dead king, Twala.
After that I got a little fitful sleep (ΠΏΠΎΡΠ»Π΅ ΡΠ΅Π³ΠΎ Ρ ΡΡΠ½ΡΠ» Π½Π΅Π½Π°Π΄ΠΎΠ»Π³ΠΎ ΠΏΡΠ΅ΡΡΠ²ΠΈΡΡΡΠΌ ΡΠ½ΠΎΠΌ = Π·Π°Π±ΡΠ»ΡΡ Π±Π΅ΡΠΏΠΎΠΊΠΎΠΉΠ½ΡΠΌ ΡΠ½ΠΎΠΌ; fitful β ΡΡΠ΄ΠΎΡΠΎΠΆΠ½ΡΠΉ, ΠΏΠΎΡΡΠ²ΠΈΡΡΡΠΉ), only to awake from time to time with a start (ΡΠΎΠ»ΡΠΊΠΎ Π΄Π»Ρ ΡΠΎΠ³ΠΎ, ΡΡΠΎΠ±Ρ Π²ΡΠ΅ΠΌΡ ΠΎΡ Π²ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈ, Π²Π·Π΄ΡΠ°Π³ΠΈΠ²Π°Ρ, ΠΏΡΠΎΡΡΠΏΠ°ΡΡΡΡ), thinking that I was once more an actor in the terrible events of the last twenty-four hours (Π²ΡΠ΅ Π΅ΡΠ΅ Π΄ΡΠΌΠ°Ρ, ΡΡΠΎ Ρ ΡΠ½ΠΎΠ²Π° Π±ΡΠ» ΡΡΠ°ΡΡΠ½ΠΈΠΊΠΎΠΌ ΡΠ΅Ρ ΡΠΆΠ°ΡΠ½ΡΡ ΡΠΎΠ±ΡΡΠΈΠΉ, ΡΡΠΎ ΠΏΡΠΎΠΈΠ·ΠΎΡΠ»ΠΈ Π·Π° ΠΏΠΎΡΠ»Π΅Π΄Π½ΠΈΠ΅ Π΄Π²Π°Π΄ΡΠ°ΡΡ ΡΠ΅ΡΡΡΠ΅ ΡΠ°ΡΠ°; actor β Π°ΠΊΡΠ΅Ρ; Π΄Π΅ΡΡΠ΅Π»Ρ, Π΄Π΅ΠΉΡΡΠ²ΡΡΡΠ΅Π΅ Π»ΠΈΡΠΎ).

After that I got a little fitful sleep, only to awake from time to time with a start, thinking that I was once more an actor in the terrible events of the last twenty-four hours. Now I seemed to see that warrior, whom my hand had sent to his last account, charging at me on the mountainβtop; now I was once more in that glorious ring of Grays, which made its immortal stand against all Twala's regiments, upon the little mound; and now again I saw Twala's plumed and gory head roll past my feet with gnashing teeth and glaring eye.
At last, somehow or other, the night passed away (Π½Π°ΠΊΠΎΠ½Π΅Ρ, ΡΠ°ΠΊ ΠΈΠ»ΠΈ ΠΈΠ½Π°ΡΠ΅, Π½ΠΎΡΡ Π·Π°ΠΊΠΎΠ½ΡΠΈΠ»Π°ΡΡ; to pass away β ΠΈΡΡΠ΅Π·Π°ΡΡ, ΠΏΡΠ΅ΠΊΡΠ°ΡΠ°ΡΡΡΡ; ΠΏΡΠΎΡ ΠΎΠ΄ΠΈΡΡ, ΠΈΡΡΠ΅ΠΊΠ°ΡΡ/ΠΎ Π²ΡΠ΅ΠΌΠ΅Π½ΠΈ/); but when dawn broke I found that my companions had slept no better than myself (Π½ΠΎ ΠΊΠΎΠ³Π΄Π° Π·Π°Π±ΡΠ΅Π·ΠΆΠΈΠ» ΡΠ°ΡΡΠ²Π΅Ρ, Ρ ΠΎΠ±Π½Π°ΡΡΠΆΠΈΠ», ΡΡΠΎ ΠΌΠΎΠΈ ΡΠΏΡΡΠ½ΠΈΠΊΠΈ ΡΠΏΠ°Π»ΠΈ Π½Π΅ Π»ΡΡΡΠ΅, ΡΠ΅ΠΌ Ρ).
