Stentorian
From the Robert E. Howard Lexicon

“Out in the night men were moving and a stentorian voice roared: ‘What, you dogs!’”
-The People of the Black Circle
This reader does not recall another use of stentorian by Howard. However, he should have used it, repeatedly, if sparingly. So, as he would write, my memory must be “playing me false,” and I look forward to the reverberant adjective in Howard stories to come.
