Subject: Neologism needed?



The following was forwarded to me by a friend and I thought this was the

appropriate venue to which to pass it along.

Dorothy Schwartzberg was here on Sunday and gave me a massage.

In the midst of my ullulations we decided to write an article on

"authentic massage pleasure sounds". Here is the list so far...



Yeep! -------- Sound made when going over a hot spot.



Airt' -------- Exclamation associated with pressure on a lymph node,

specifically in the armpit.



EeeeSha! ----- Two syllable plosive associated with first bunching a

long muscle and then releasing it as the massage stroke

continues.



Nmrnym ------- Murmur generated by spreading the pectorals





Thought you would like it, or have something to add. I've asked a

linguist friend for a techno term describing such nonlanguage, meaning

carrying utterances, but he is stumped. Too bad. It would have been so

nice to be highbrow.
