I'm not entirely clear on what "sa'ei > bakni" would mean - is it a noise that sounds like "bakni" or is it the > noise of a bakni? Or could it be either? But can't you say "sa'ei .mu."? Is it imperative that they end in a consonant or just recommended? As a side note, I think the cmavo should be as short as possible, since onomatopoeia are sometimes quick ejaculations of sound. Too long of a word seems to take away from the effect. mu'omi'e .okus. ------------------------ Yahoo!
