It's "onomatopeia." It means the sound of the word imitates what it means like: buzz, zipp, poof, pop, and woof. "The bee buzzes around the flowers."
Edgar Allen Poe coined a term, "tintinabulation," to mimic a bell sound in his poem, "The Bells."
Cool question, especially appreciated by language geeks!

You wrote Japanese by mistake.
"Ano mono pia"
means
"That thing [is a] pier."
