Sorry about that triple entry ??? I posted then went back to things I *should have been doing! Looked this a.m. and deleted two.
Re the Final Judgement : At the end of the article I quoted there is this - QUOTE:
There is no question that Patrick taught us by his example that all life is, indeed, precious. Yet it's hard to imagine that there isn't a soft spot in his heart reserved just for the Irish.
In fact, there is an old legend that promises that on the last day, though Christ will judge all the other nations, it will be St. Patrick sitting in judgment on the Irish.
When asked whether that spelled good news or bad news for the Irish, Cahill doesn't hesitate.
"That's great news for the Irish," he says with a laugh.
End Quote.

Wow mentioned brigid and keening (Irish traditional tales say Bridgit invented many useful things including whistling and keening )
keening, is a specific noise, use for mourning.. even the irish recognize that there are keener's, women who are blessed with this skill. (i am one-- i can't sing a note, but i can keen)
in the arab world, there is a an "noise" made that is also used for mourning.. (i have heard it, and think most of us have, in the movie, Lawrence of Arabia, the women made this undulating noise) does it have a name?
while it serves the same function as keening, it is a very different noise.-- and do other cultures have a specific cry /noise associated with mourning? and do these have names?

Imagine a song about an exotic lagoon near Hawaii, in which a torch-bearing fish sings his little gills out for a his lady love who only wants to dance:
"The Ululating Ulua with Undulating Ulua," an Atolu Hula, accompanied by an Aching Uvula
