What makes a word? (Monkey calls)

So, I'm watching:

David Attenborough says, "The langur monkey has a specific call for when a tiger is in the area"

Upon Googling various combinations of the words: langur, monkey, calls, sounds, tiger, specific...I came upon the following:

"Common langur monkey alerts the rest of the forest to tiger's presence by calling Sounds like a man clearing his throat to spit"
The above from: http://ift.tt/1LeTcc9


Question: If the langur monkey does have a specific call for tiger, and this is recognized in the local community, isn't that call, basically, a word?
