It's a word I invented for a sound that has no word in English, perhaps in any language. A bit of onomatopoeia. Even a famous song about it back in 1965 -- lots of irony in the song, and the ironic thing is that a song could hardly expess it. And by using it here, I think I've actually given you an explanation in the "or less" part of that "one syllable or less" request ... one word, no syllables.
> Hope you're doing better this weekend, Bob. My own anniversary grief on 11 Sept is my beloved grandmother's death. 8:10 AM, Sunday, 11 Sept. It was bright and shining out there -- and it felt as though my world had ended. Still hits me sometimes, although not as hard anymore. Sometimes, though, I find I'm more depressed leading up to the date, but don't really know why.
