clamatory

adjective

1. Crying out, calling out; claiming, demanding.

   rare

   Some persons say that it [the "clivia"] was a clamatory, others, again, that it was a prohibitory, bird. We also find a bird mentioned by Nigidius as the “subis," which breaks the eggs of the eagle.

Where it comes from

Probably from the stem of Latin clamatus + -ory; equivalent to claim + -atory. Compare exclamatory, declamatory, reclamatory.
