<p>Hello, </p>
<p>The Hungarian counterpart of a fake cough is quite similar to the Finnish, but is usually said twice:</p>
<p><em>Köhöm-köhöm</em></p>
<p>the pronunciation is [køhøm]</p>
<p>Best,</p>
<p>Csilla</p>

<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>Not exactly ideophones or coughing, but English has "harrumph" and "ahem" to denote a sort of fake cough intentionally produced to express disapproval and/or draw attention. (The two actually seem to differ in their status: whereas the former is kind of a regular verb, I don't think I've ever heard "ahem" pronounced — it seems to exist only in written form.)</p>
<p>Do other languages have similar forms? </p>
