Dear all<br>
<br>
The RefLex database (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://reflex.cnrs.fr">https://reflex.cnrs.fr</a>) has 15,500 + so-called
ideophones (not always labelled as such in the original sources)
from more than 150 African languages. I don't know if other
databases allow to search on part-of-speech, but it might be worth
checking. The Gbaya dictionary by Blanchard & Noss (1982) has
2257 ideophones, a few others have more than 500.<br>

<p>Interesting question. I don't have the impression that lists
of ideophones are rarer than, say, list of verbs or nouns — <span>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>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> </span></p>

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