Note 2 — Chapter I · HYPOTHESES
G. S. Whitmarsh translation
Thus Max Müller says: “In Chinese the number of imitative sounds is very considerable.... We give a few, together with the corresponding sounds in Mandshu. The difference between the two will show how differently the same sounds strike different ears, and how differently they are rendered into articulate language:
The cock crows = kiao kiao in Chinese = dchor dchor in Mandshu.” —Max Müller, Science of Language, vol. i. note p. 419.
