Jul 16, 2016 at 19:04 comment added FumbleFingers I don't understand the question. Are we being asked for a verb meaning [to make] the sound of a thrusting sword? Perhaps that might be swish or similar. Or the sound shoes might make? If the shoes are wet, squelch, squish come to mind - if dry, creak, squeak. But what exactly is OP looking for?

Jul 16, 2016 at 18:17 comment added Yuri Like a rat squeaks? Well squeak wasn't a new word to me to write down, it can't be it. I must have been a different word.
Jul 16, 2016 at 18:13 comment added user3169 It could be "my shoes squeak when I walk". As for the sword, and possibly the shoes, the word might just be an approximation of what the sound is, even if not a real word. You see a lot of this in comic books. See Onomatopoeia
