Gratiam habeo, GO!

 

An X-cellent article indeed.

 

Vg, this comes from its "funny sounds" link ("Onomatopoeia" article of Vicipaedia):

 

"De vocibus animalium...

 

Animal Latine Graece Anglice

 

Canis baubat(ur) βαύζει barks

Equus hinnit χρεμετίζει neighs

Feles maumat μιαυρίζει miaows (Am. meows)

Leo rugit βρυχᾶται roars

Ovis balat βληχᾶται baas

Rana coaxat κοάζει croaks

Sus grundit γρυλίζει grunts

Vacca mugit μυκᾶται moos"
