Tohubohu

I read Les Miserables. I don't remember this word. But then again, It was 2000 pages long . . . And this is also a French book. So a translator probably translated it to "chaos" as is right and sensible.

tohubohu Audio Pronunciation


\TOH-hoo-BOH-hoo\
noun
1. chaos; disorder; confusion.
Quotes
Learn this: joy is not merely joyful; it is great. So be lovers gaily then, the devil! and marry, when you do marry, with the fever and the dizziness and the uproar and the tohubohu of happiness.
-- Victor Hugo, translated by Charles E. Wilbour, Les Misérables, 1862
