What are these "people sounds" in other languages?

On the subject of sneezes, has anyone noticed that a lot of the words you say after a sneeze sound sort of like a sneeze themselves? Bless you, gesundheit, à tes souhaits, jesús, and so forth. The sound and sense compatibility is so strong that when I was a little kid I thought that “à tes souhaits” was actually the verb for “to sneeze” (j’atessoue, tu atessoues,…)

Wow, that’s a very cool observation! I think you might have something there. If you have any linguist acquaintance, why not collaborate on a scholarly study and article?
