Absolutely not shell related, so let's be short.
Dogs, mice, cats, coks etc. emit sounds or songs that human people translate
in words.
Each country has its own words.

Why not collect all the translations possible for each animal's cry, in
every language of this List ?

I could build a funny webpage with your translations, so, do not hesitate,
send me some!
For example, the cock, in french, says "cocorico"; a word that, obvioulsy,
it never said; in english, this "cocorico" becomes "cock-a-doodle-doo"; not
exactly the same thing. What about dogs, cats, birds, donkeys etc. in
German, Spanish, English, American, Italian, Russian, Hebrew etc. etc. ?

Thanks for all your contributions, and many excuses for this invasion in
shell territories, but brains must be fed in many different ways.
