Ah yes, reminds me of the old joke: An otaku blacksmith's tool: някавайня

For clarification, it's nya-kawaii-nya, and it sounds like russian word for anvil, наковальня (nakoval'nya). Very roughly can be translated as on-smither. Also this word is feminine.

Japanese has tons of great onomatopoeia. The Fox says "kon kon", and the mouse goes "chuu chuu".
