Default Re: Sounds made by animals

Well, I said 'more likely to' - so I was covering my bases - if I'd thought, I'd have realized there are lots of counter-examples. But I still think that there will be more similarities in onomatopoeia re human noises than re animal noises - although as you point out there are lots of differences.

Touché, but not a mortal blow.
