thank you so much for sharing this, lmfao
They're both opomatopeics and they're pretty close to each other geographically, so it's not a huge coincidence that it's incredibly close.
some of these are really weird, like op op, guoguo and kwaak? it could be how the local frogs make the sounds, maybe?
The actual pronunciation of those noises is probably different than you are expecting, and sound closer to the local frog species.
Remember, just because its written without diacritics doesn't mean its pronounced like we would in English, with a north american accent.
It's also how my Latin teacher said the Romans did it.
