I'll get some in before I hit the sack. I had no idea this word was pronounced this way. In fact, I had no idea the spelling and pronunciation were of the same word. Interesting when that happens. reveillePronunciation: WAV or RealAudioreveille (REV-uh-lee) noun 1. The sounding of a bugle early in the morning to awaken and summon people in a camp or garrison. This bugle call or its equivalent. The first military formation of the day. 2. A signal to get up out of bed.
