Subject:Sound symbolism in Arabic query

Hi all,

I am interested in onomatopoeic words in Arabic (tasmiya\kalima
muHAkiya), in both MSA and the colloquial language.Wright and Haywood
mention it only when speaking of quadriliteral verbs and the extensive
grammar by Teufik Muftic (Sarajevo,1998) refers to it briefly, again
only in the interjections section. Can anyone tell me something more
about it or give me reference concerning sound symbolism in Arabic (all
of it: corporal, imitative, synesthetic, conventional) as well as its
forms (e.g. reduplication, phonaestheme).

Thanks,
Vrsan Lestaric
