MERMAID MELODY PICHI PICHI PITCH
A guide to wordless exclamations left untranslated!

	Aan = an exclamation of dissapointment.

	Ara = a womanish interjection, like "my my!" or "oh me oh my!" or 
	      "oh my goodness!".  But in this manga it usually has more of a sarcastic
    	      connotation.

	Ch = an expression of disgust or anger.

	Eeeh? = an exclamation of surprise or disbelief.	

	Gyaa! = a scream of surprise, fear, or anger.

	Haaa = a sigh.

	He he = a girlish laugh.  The "e" is pronounced the vowel sound in "head."
		So it sounds like "heh heh," not "hii hii."
		* Sometimes "E he he."

	Hu hu hu = a laugh.  This is the trademark laugh of Gakuto and Maria.
		   * Sometimes written as "Uhu hu."

	Hu = Gakuto's one-syllable laugh, more like a "Hmph!" of contempt.

	Hun! = another expression of contempt.

	Ho = Gakuto uses this to feign surprise.  
	     * Also sometimes "Ho ho."

	Ho ho ho = a very womanish laugh.  Eriru laughs this way.

	Iyaa! = sort of like screaming "No!"

	Iyaan! = an scream of pain, fear, or anger.  The Dark Lovers tend to say this 
		 when they are defeated by the mermaids' songs.  But Hanon also uses 
		 this one quite a lot as well, sometimes as a joke.  In chapter 9, she 
		 tells Lucia, "Iyaaaaan!  I'm so jealous!"
		 * Also sometimes written as "Yaan!"	

	Kiii! = a girlish "argh!" of frustration or anger.	

	Ku = a grunt or groan.

	Ku ku ku = the way that Sara typically laughs.
	
	Kusu kusu = a giggle.

	Kyaa! = a typical girlish scream.

	Kya ha ha! = Yuuri's trademark laugh.

	Na? = usually the first syllable of "nani," which means "what?"
	      Hippo often uses this as an exclamation of confusion, or of anger.

	Pu! = the sound of a laugh trying to be stiffled.  You'll see Kaito do this
	      one a lot.  

	Uwaa = an exclamation of surprise, joy, happiness, or even fear.
		* Also: Waa, Uaa, Uwo, and other variations.

	Uuu = a groan of pain or fear.

	Yo! = a casual way that boys (like Kaito) say "hello."
