Knock has a certain onomatopoeia, does it not?

Asked by Ltryptophan (12091points) March 31st, 2011

I mean its etymology is not sound based…

But tapped at the door is not as intimidating a verb…

A tap at the door…the easter bunny….

A knock at the door…oooh scary a zombie

So does knock qualify as onomatopoeia?
