Mr. Breid of Missouri mentioned to me the word "nolve," a type of speech identifying a person, place or thing.
In the OED, I find "Nowell," in the 1300s a word shouted or sung as an expression of joy, originally to commemorate Christ's birth, now retained in Chrstmas carols. So, this one is tied to European singing tradition.
