But the Latin verb jūbilāre is a derivative of the Proto-Indo-European root yū-, yu- "to shout in exultation," from which Greek derives iýzein "to shout aloud" (with several derivatives), and Middle High German derives jū and jūch, expressions of joy. Jubilate entered English in the early 17th century. MORE FOR YOU 1 The Greatest Language Hits Of Black Music June is African-American Music Appreciation Month, also known as Black Music Month.
