Definition
to send out — such as sound or light
- They weren't yells, or howls, or shouts, or whoops, or yawps, such as you'd expect from a manly set of vocal organs—they were simply indecent, terrifying, humiliating screams, such as women emit when they see ghosts or caterpillars.
- Just then we heard a kind Of war-whoop, such as David might have emitted when he knocked out the champion Goliath.
There are no more uses of "emit" in The Ransom of Red Chief.
