What does WHEEP mean in Scrabble?
verb
Scotsdialect
To make a thin, shrill whistling or piping sound, as certain birds do.
To wheep describes a quick, high-pitched cry or whistle, most often used of birds such as the curlew or plover crossing open ground. As a noun the same word names the sound itself, a short sharp note rather than a full song. Wheep is imitative, built to echo the noise it describes, and it belongs mainly to Scots speech and to nature writing about moorland birds.
