I'm not sure if this helps, but 'ovel' is a Hebrew word for to mourn. An 'ovelling dove' would be a mourning dove. I understand that mourning doves are very common in North America, and have a very, well, mournful call! The word ovelling also means moaning or lamenting (I looked up some old sermons online) which comes to the same thing. |
