Onomatopoeia (ὀνοματοποιία_ making of a name or word) is the formation of names to express natural sounds.
βληχῶμαι bleat, βομβῶ buzz, βρυ_χῶμαι roar, κοάξ quack, κακκαβίζω cackle, κόκκυξ cuckoo, κράζω croak, τι_τίζω cheep, πιππίζω chirp. Sometimes the sound of a whole verse imitates an action; as αὖτις ἔπειτα πέδονδε κυλίνδετο λᾶας ἀναιδής
down again to the plain rolled the shameless stone
λ 598 (of the stone of Sisyphus).
