Definition
Past tense of cooee; made a cooee call or attracted attention by cooee-ing.
Etymology
From cooee plus the regular past tense suffix -ed, showing how Aboriginal words were integrated into English verb conjugation systems.
Kelly Says
When English speakers conjugated the Aboriginal word cooee into cooeed, cooee-ing, cooees, they were naturalizing it into English grammar—making it fully English by submitting it to English grammar rules, even as the sound itself remained Aboriginal.
