ONOMATOPOIEA

ONOMATOPOIEA
Words with sounds that suggest their meaning; sound effects in a way.


Examples From Literature:

"I lauched myself at an Eraser, spinning and planting a hard, roundhouse kick in his barrel chest. His breath went oof, and the odor was just awful, like raw sewage left out in the hot sun."
From Maximum Ride The Angel Experiment written by James Patterson in 2005.

"Hmph. So you're finally awake."
From Shakugan no Shana Fight Day! by Yashichiro Takahashi (2003).


My Examples:

Gah!
Spash!

Wow...
