Wept, cried (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wailed

I believe this is a double definition.

'wept' is the first definition.
(wailing is a kind of weeping)

'cried' is the second definition.
(wailing is a kind of crying)

(Another definition for wailed that I've seen is " Uttered a long sad cry".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
