Cooey
\Coo"ey\, Cooee
\Coo"ee\, n. [Of imitative origin.]
A peculiar cry uttered by the Australian aborigines as a call
to attract attention, and also in common use among the
Australian colonists. In the actual call the first syllable
is much prolonged (k[=oo]"-) and the second ends in a shrill,
staccato [=e]. To represent the sound itself the spelling
cooee is generally used. [Written also
cooie.]
Within cooey, within earshot.
[Webster 1913 Suppl.]
