Note

Gulak gulak, owk owk are onomatopoetic words that are supposed to imitate the sounds made by pods rattling, dogs barking, etc. English-speaking dogs go bow-wow and Kannada dogs go owk owk. [For one of the early inventories of such sounds, see Antti Aarne, Variantenverzeichnis der Finnischen Deutungen von Tierstimmen und Anderen Naturlauten (1912), Hamina: Suomalaisen Tiedakatemian Kustantama.]
