	Refs:	GG5 daijr koj GG5 gives わあ；わあっ；わっ pronunciations; others give only わあ GG5 and daijr give precisely our definitions (surprise, crying, joy)
	Comments:	* Add alt spellings わあっ、わっ * Elab glosses * Link relevant senses to わっと (For these senses, GG5 gives わあっと for “give a shout” and “start crying”, for which わっと is also used.) See also discussion at わっ　( id 95265 seq 2004010 ).
