shophar

/ ʃɔˈfar; ˈʃəʊfɑː /

Cohen made a sign to a priest who held a Shophar (hallowed ram's horn) in his hand.

He signed to the Tokeang—the Shophar blower—and instantly the weird, curious, quavering, vibrating sounds broke on the still air.

The usual New Year's ceremony of Shophar-blowing would be observed.

Shophar is the Hebrew name for what is usually translated 'ram's horns.'
