Vocabulary
to moo - to low - to bellow
Hi,
Could you please explain what are the main differences among these verbs?
Are they fully interchangeable in most contexts?
For example, is there any difference among the following sentences (assuming all the three are correct English)?
The bull has been mooing all night.
The bull's lowing all night.
The bull's been bellowing all night
Finally, one more (naive :-) question.
Which of these verbs is most common when talking about "mooing animals"?
mus-te

'Bellow' is much louder than 'moo'. I don't hear 'low' used much these days - except in the Christmas carol, 'Away in a manger'.
