Deciphering Dakin

For the uninitiated...here's a brief Dakinese dictionary.

la la --color or yellow, depending on context
bow--brown or blue, depending on context
mimi--Minnie
mow--mouse
deedee-Daisy
daaa-duck
ra ra--rocket
eeee--green or please, depending on context
gay--gray
pa paaaa--purple
peesh--peach
yeah yeah--yeah/yes
ah dah--hot dog
uh oh--uh oh
oh no--oh no
ba baaa--butterfly
weird gagging noise--I need to be suctioned
chomping jaws--I want to eat or someone else is eating
looking at someone's shoulder--I want you to hold me
ipee--yipee
pih--pink

da da

daaah/oof oof--dog
mow--cat
moo with funny cow face-cow
baaa--sheep
kisses--sorry, or, if combined with the sign language gesture for thank you, thank you. It can also just be kisses

There you go...that's all I can think of at the moment. He's also started with a 'yo-e yo-e yo-e' whose meaning has not as of yet been determined.

Thank you all for your well wishes. Dakin hasn't been on 02 the last two nights--keep you fingers crossed! It really is just looking like a case of overexertion/overstimulation.
