Onomatopoeia
Hi everybody.
I want to know that what's the Onomatopoetic sound for walking.
And do you know any complete reference for these Onomatopoeias?(I'm not sure that this "s" at the end of Onomatopoeia is correct or no!Is it?)
Thanks.Of course I mean it's onomatopoeia in English.

The pitter-patter of children's feet.
The clumpity-clump of heavy shoes.
The flippity-flop of beach shoes.
The scirry-scurry of cats' paws.
Likewise:
stomp = stompity stomp
dump = dumity dump

stomp stomp stomp, dump dump dump, shree clicka shree clicka...
s refers to plural noun

Onomatopoeia will not have an 's' in the end... While for the sound it is important to know where you want to place it... you can use stomp, tromp, or even animal sounds like meow etc....

I'd sooner say "examples of onomatopoeia". Just adding an "s" to the word looks clumsy (though wikipedia says it's OK... I disagree).
The closest thing you could get to a decent plural of onomatopoeia might be "onomatopoeiae", following Greek rules of pluralisation.
Just by the by... :)

Of course, these onomatopoeias are in American English, the sounds will differ by the ear of another country. :)
