>korkorugmos remembers onomatopoeic verbs like Portuguese gargalhar
>"to laugh loudly" and gargarejar "to gargle".
NeoGreek gargara, gargariso
German gurgeln (& Gurgel)
Latin gurgulio (& gurgatio + gurgitare).
BTW, Mongolians and some neighboring Turkic peoples call /karkhiraa/,
/khargyraa/, /kargyraa/ ("growling") some styles of /höömei/ [xöömej],
i.e. the throat chanting/singing = overtone singing.

Is Engl. /harrumph/ onomatopoietic? Any link to the above?
