Does anyone know examples of B-Hebrew words where the pronunciation
>
(the sound) correspond to the meaning of the word?
RA'AM (thunder)
HAS ("shhh!")
GIMGEM (stutter), from a later dialect of Hebrew
and one of my favorite Hebrew words:
BAQBUQ (bottle). It's the sound made when a liquid is poured from the
bottle.
