JODorsey On Siouan "Onomatopes"[Jan1892]

["Alfred W. Tüting"]

Clive, up to now, I never heard the word "onomatope" (was it an early  
coining of J.O. Dorsey's time??).
It is usually given as "onomatopoeia" (onomatopoeic) in English  
(hangutánzás, hangutánzó in Hungarian and
Lautmalerei, lautmalerisch in German).

With reference to Siouan tongues, I've encountered the expression  
"sound symbolism" or such, which might be different (Kostya?).

Alfred

P.S. You maybe still remember our topic: Hungarian "szundikál" (to  
slumber) and
  Romani "sune dikel/suno dikhel" (to dream)...
