英语词汇cock-a-doodle-doo的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

cock-a-doodle-doo. English speakers might think that the use of our centuries-old echoic word for the sound of the crow- ing of a rooster would be universal, but only the “k” sound in the word is common to most languages, their echoic words for the cock’s crowing being quite different. German, for example, uses kikiriki; Italian, chicchirichi; French, cocorico; Spanish, qui- quiriqui; Russian, kikareku; Rumanian, cucuriqu; Vietnamese, cuc-cu; Japanese, kokekkoko; and Arabic, ko-ko. The same is true for many echoic words. See meow.
