comminatory

A few years later, I got a comminatory phone call from one of the firm's founders.

In vain did Alexander V. and John XXIII. command Archbishop Zbinco to suppress the heresy, and in vain did the struggling prelate hold assemblies and issue comminatory decrees.

This order not being obeyed, on the 15th of December he expedited a second brief, which was comminatory.

The chief, tall, black, sombre, stood and threatened Jean-aux-Choux with comminatory forefinger.

And here we may pause in our miserable and comminatory progress to admit gladly that in such societies are to be found plenty of talent and of what is much rarer, sincerity.
