Just a few so far in Kash:
eñe (usu. repeated eñeñeñeñe...) the bleating sound made by lopas (=
sheep/goat); yeñe to bleat; of humans, to sound like a lopa bleating when
wheedling or insisting
(Cindu's fauna are not too much thought out...)
ñar to roar
kruñ ~kukruñ; ruñur to growl
rondoñ ~rondroñ to purr of certain animals
muru-muru to purr, of certain other animals (possibly related to pumuru
'thunder')
We also distinguish: lali to sing, of certain flying "lizards" and children
(high-pitch) vs. rinjura 'to sing, of the adult human voice'
