<p>Interesting question. I don't have the impression that lists of ideophones are rarer than, say, list of verbs or nouns — <span style="font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif, EmojiFont, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", NotoColorEmoji, "Segoe UI Symbol", "Android Emoji", EmojiSymbols; font-size: 16px;">in
fact it is slightly more common to have a paper about ideophones that includes a list of items than to have the same for verbs or nouns. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Which is to say, 1) beware assumptions of completeness: often such lists are presented
without any information about elicitation methods or representativeness; 2) dictionaries remain the best place to find them in great numbers.</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p>

<p>I take it you're looking for things like this (all of these include at least 50 ideophones/expressives/mimetics):</p>
