<p>Dear all,<br>
</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>
