Wo-oh! by the men for calling their dogs or horses. It is a
sound very similar to that used by the whites to halt horses.

Wah-man-gar-ing-ga! Be off, or go away--spoken in anger--this
would be the last word, an attack would succeed if disregarded.

O-hoh! (drawn out very long) used to one who has been troubling
them a long time--it would precede the preceding exclamation in
the gradation of displeasure.

Ge-ga-ha! wah-ge-ga-ra! o-hoh-ge-gar-a!--the successive
expressions of impatience in calling a person to come.
