For example, does their dog switch from "bow wow" to "hav hav"?

After all, no English speaker literally says "HaHaHa". Although a Mizrachi-style pharyngeal chet (distinct from a khaf) would make for a good hearty laugh.<br /><br />It reminds me of hearing about how roosters in Spanish speaking country's say kikiriki instead of cockediddledoo. However, the roosters I heard in Mexico and Costa Rica sounded like they were saying cockediddledoo. Nevertheless the sound gets interpreted by Spanish speakers as kikiriki.Yochanannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3089133433897831130.post-22518348635972522762009-07-10T22:59:51.160+03:002009-07-10T22:59:51.160+03:00There is no way I would be able to write Hebrew sl...There is no way I would be able to write Hebrew slang.
