Sesquipedalian - Part 3

Troy is a sponge with words, sounds, recognition, and regurgitation. He's to a point now that he can repeat things after hearing it once. It's amazing how far he's come. Not everything is exactly correct, but it's close enough that you can tell what he's trying to say. Here's a list of the latest developments.

Panda is represented as "bamba."

Pumba from the Lion King is represented as "Boomba."

Backhoe is represented as simply "hoe."

Deer is well "deer."

Orange is also simply "orange."

Nose is likewise "nose," but is also accompanied by him pointing to the correct body part either on himself or one of his stuffed animals.

He also has a list of objects that get a sound effect instead of a word.

A motorcycle gets a very realistic high-pitched engine sound with variation when he "changes gears." The amazing part about this one is that he has a deeper-pitched engine sound for a car and will use them differently depending on what he sees.

A fire truck gets a siren sound.

A train gets a horn sound.

A goose gets a loud, deep honking sound.

A cat gets a "eow."

A dog gets a "wuff, ruff."

An owl gets a "hoo, hoo."

A bird gets a realistic high-pitched bird sound. The interesting thing is that he has two sounds, one for crows; which is a deeper, throaty trilling; and one for all other birds, which is a higher trilling.

A sea lion gets an "Ort, ort" along with him slapping his hands on his stomach to simulate clapping flippers.

A crocodile gets him clapping his outstretched arms (sideways rather than up-and-down) to simulate chomping jaws.

And a bunny rabbit gets a hop, either by making his stuffed animal bounce up and down, or by him doing it himself!
