Coo´ey

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 (kŌ"-) and the second ends in a shrill, staccato ē. To represent the sound itself the spelling cooee is generally used.

Within cooey
within earshot.

v. i.

To call out cooee.

[imp. & p. p. Cooeyed or Cooeed ( ); p. pr. & vb. n. Cooeying or Cooeeing.]

I cooeyed and beckoned them to approach.

- E. Giles.
