Etymology: "Hilloaed" is the past tense and past participle of "hilloa," a verb that means to shout "hilloa!" or to call out in a loud, hunting-style cry. The base verb is what carries the history here, so the inflected form needs only this brief note: the past tense simply adds the regular "-ed" ending to "hilloa," with the final "a" kept, so the spelling is "hilloaed" rather than "hilload" or "hilloaad."

Synonyms: shouted, hollered, hallooed
