They also use the suffix oo to indicate a more minor threat, so krak-oo mean something to keep an eye on below, while hok-oo warns of minor danger above, such as falling branches.
Recordings in the Tai Forest of the Ivory Coast show that the monkeys there use a sound we might write as krak to warn of the presence of a leopard, while hok referred to an eagle.
