Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew interjection "ahah," similar expressions of lament or distress can be found in the Greek New Testament, such as "οὐαί" (ouai - Strong's Greek 3759), which is often translated as "woe."

Usage: The Hebrew interjection "ahah" is an expression of lament, distress, or sorrow. It is often used in the context of mourning or expressing deep regret and is typically found in prophetic literature where it conveys the emotional response to impending judgment or disaster.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, expressions of lament were a significant part of both personal and communal life.
