The Merriam-Webster Dictionary claims
moo vb. to make the natural throat noise of a cow ---- moo n.

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary claiming it isn't that surprising,
but you using MWD to identify which baby gurgles are words
and which are not is frankly........ insane?
E.g. "U menya pustaya golova"

Listen up, Paul: I am sounding out "U menya pustaya golova." I have
absolutely no idea what this means. I'm just gurgling out these things.
Does that mean those words have no meaning? *You* know the meaning of the
above sentence. I don't, but I can sound them out.
