adjective
resembling the deep, hollow sound made by blowing across the mouth of a large, narrow-necked, empty bottle: amphoric breathing.
Definition courtesy of Dictionary.com.
This is why I love the English language. We have words for the sound the breath makes over the opening of an empty bottle! That just stuns me. I want to use this word in my next novel. The amphoric sound of wind over the canyon… Oooo. Now I need to write a novel just so I can use that sentence. My enthusiasm undoes me, as so often is the case.
