Indirect onomatopoeia is a combination of sounds the aim of which is to make the sound of the utterance an echo of its sense. It is sometimes called "echo writing": "And the silken, sad, uncertain rustling of each purple curtain"(E.A.Poe), where the repetition of the sound [s] actually produces the sound of the rustling of the curtain.
