Yes, Mr. Cowan, but are they purely sound-mimicking, not voice- or
mode-mimicking?
I am peculiarly intrigued with "neologistic" patterns in sound-mimicking
onomatopoeia (i.e. is/if there are certain electronic sounds
infiltrating certain languages' onomatopoeia & how are they formed
(what is their Romanized interpretation spelled)? etc., hehe)
