An onomatopeoa is a word that sounds like the action it describes so if yawn is not the sound we make then there is no equivalent we can use.

Yawns just make a large breathing sound lol...
Unless yawns sound like the word "yawn"? You do know an onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like a sound right? Like sizzle for example. It might just be me but a yawn doesn't actually sound like the word yawn to me...

I've seen some instances in comic books where the following was used (note: not inside a thought bubble or a speech bubble, as is the case with all onomatopoeias):
*YAWN*

Eh?
It's onomatopoeia because the word yawn sounds like the sound you make when you yawn.

An onomatopoeia is a word that sounds like the word is its e.g. SPLASH, PLOP, etc
Sorry can't think of an alternative for yawn.

Onomatopoeia is the use of words whose sounds make you think of their meanings
