Dear folks, To return to the point, "swittle"'s'wonderful! Surprised no one mentioned "boing." As for smartarse, how about the word "yonic" derived, so I'm told, from the Hindu(?) word "yoni," meaning "female genitalia," as an opposite descriptor to "phallic?" But I digress. Personal favourite ONOMATOPÅ’IA: "par-par." (transliterated Hebrew for "butterfly). Said with a Hebrew accent, the "r's" roll ever so softly, making a wee flutter like the wings of a butterfly. Has a sort of bi-lateral symmetry to boot. Now how about ONOMATOPÅ’IA in SONG? "The Marvelous Toy" comes to mind. Shalom, Shula
