increased whining sound/complaint Explanation: A whine is a long, high-pitched sound. Usually considered an unpleasant sound, as in the whining of the engine. It also has the meaning of petulant complaint. Children often whine when they want something. I really don't know how to explain your entire phrase = whine rise up. Are you sure there's nothing missing? Maybe increased whining sound? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-03-18 16:02:47 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- gimotear, plañir, gemir, decir en voz lastimoza |
