Looking this up in the Hawaiian dictionary. In the context of this funeral, is this a funeral dirge or wailing? — Maile (talk) 02:37, 5 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

They are dirges.

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Death and state funeral of Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 00:49, 25 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
