Well, that's what "onomatopoeic" implies. If the words were
all of a very
different shape, they wouldn't be onomatopoeic.


[Moeller]
this is not a rulle. For instance in german if you have a
unexpected pain you will say "aua", into romanian just "au"
the onomatopees are not the same everywhere , almost every
folk has something special here..The exemlpe of rum.
"borborsi" or reg. "bolborosi" is a word where I cannot see an
onomatopoic here. Is much too similar with "to speak"
to speak= a vorbi
to speak uninteligible= a borborosi
So in the case why is this word onomatopoic ?an explanation
could be, just because begin with "b" and the second one
because begins with "v" (joking).
Not at all, they are all verbs, they shows an action, and most
important they can be conjugate by themself without some help
from another verb.And this cannot be an onomatopoic one
then.Is just a ordinary verb .Speak and speak uninteligible,
beeing the sense.
