When used for a non-auditory sensory device, the word phenomime can be used for words that act like onomatopoeia (also known as phonomimes) for non-auditory stimuli (the other four senses). They are quite common in Japanese, which also has psychomimes (words that act like onomatopoeia for emotions, thought processes and states of mind) (Rosevelt, 1896).

• Phophonomims use the sounds of words to represent vocal and auditory stimuli, such as barking or meowing. They are also called “phonmia”.
• Phenomenas represent visual stimulus or non-auditory stimuli. Of course, some sounds have no verbal description or are just sound sounds.
• Psychomimes use word sounds to represent psychological stimuli, such as: a pitter-pat of a quickened heart, dizziness, or reluctance one can feel.
