yodan verb with 'ku' ending (archaic), intransitive verb
Archaic intransitive verb describing a loud, booming sound that fills a space. Modern Japanese typically uses 鳴り響く (なりひびく) instead.
See also: 鳴り響く (なりひびく)
古戦場に鬨の声が鳴り轟いた。
The battle cry reverberated across the ancient battlefield.
雷鳴が山々に鳴り轟く。
Thunder resounds through the mountains.
Modern equivalent with the same meaning; 鳴り轟く is its archaic counterpart, now mostly found in classical or poetic contexts.
Compound of 鳴り (nari, 'sounding') + 轟く (todoroku, 'to roar, reverberate'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the form follows a common pattern of intensifying a verb with a prefixed nominal element.
