Re: Ancient Greek Phonology

    IIRC I usta have in my massive notebook collections, a "snippet" of the
Ancient Greek word for _cicada_  or the onomatopoetic for the cicada's sound.
    I lost that particular notebook and that was the best thing in that
particular notebook.
    The word was something like _ixixa_ or something like that with
intriguing "insectoid" phonology/sound-symbolism.
