Rooah

Rooah (also spelled ruah or ruach) is a Hebrew word meaning wind or spirit.

Legend has it that God gave Joshua the word to use to make the walls of Jericho fall down. The sound is celebrated among all warriors of the world in one variation or another as their war cry. Rooah is the verb and Tarooah is the noun. Interestingly enough, Tarooah, or Tarawa, is the first place where a Navy admiral gave operational command of an amphibious assault to a Marine general during World War II.
