The geography is a bit odd here but in English we have
the expression "pussy fart" --a sound created during
intercourse when the female organ is full of liquid
But IE languages seem to have quite a number of p-
words that deal with sex, sex organs, anus and anal
fuctions. And due to taboo an incredible number of
forms.
Didn't Greenberg and Ruhlen posit a *pVt- "world word"
for "anus, vulva"? If so, I imagine it's another
onomatopoeic word like English 'poot", IE pezd-, etc.
Someone needs to record all the onomatopoeic classes
to keep the mass com folks from embarrassing
themselves
And if World Lang is valid --separating the wheat from
the chaff will be an immense favor.
So far:
KR --"hard words"
KR -- "frog words" because of the call
PZ, PT, PS "anus, vulva, penis" words
BR, FR "boil" words
KwL "wheel, circle" words
BL, PL "ball" words
and, of course, mama and papa
