Eisenbrauns is working on Morphologies of Asia and Africa, a companion volume to Phonologies of Asia and Africa. I pass along to you some tidbits:
Some important vocabulary from Gawwada (Cushitic).
c’óq: the noise of dripping water, or, with a causative verb, of a finger stuck into an eye;
hófhóf: a soft noise, as, e.g., when a knife enters flesh;
lumá?: the action of swishing away, said of a snake;
túrr: the action of farting with no noise but bad smell;
t’úup: a suckling noise made when drinking, in appreciation.
Enjoy :)
