  Cooey \Coo"ey\, Cooee \Coo"ee\, n. [Of imitative origin.]
     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 (k[=oo]"-) and the second ends in a shrill,
     staccato [=e]. To represent the sound itself the spelling


     {cooee} is generally used. [Written also {cooie}.]
  
     {Within cooey}, within earshot.
        [Webster 1913 Suppl.] Cooey
