CHUCK(LE) tsah-KHAHK צחק [TS-H-KàCH-K]
CHUCKLE (to laugh softly) is thought to be from a hen's call; thus imitative.
A CHUCKLE is not quite a cackle, and hyenas have a better sense of humor than hens. CACKLE and CHUCKLE only find the gutturals of צחק TSaK[H]aQ to be funny.
צחק TSaK[H]aQ means to laugh (Genesis 17:17). It also means various kinds of darker laughter and erotic sporting. צעצע TS[A]hTSooGHah is a plaything (“ toy” in Modern Hebrew), and שעשע SHaGH’SH’GHa means played with, fondled (Isaiah 11:8, 66:12).
The designed, paradoxical, similar opposites are צעק TSaGHahQ and זעק Za’[A]ahQ (cry).
The name of Ishmael’s half brother, Isaac or יצחק YiTS[K]HaQ, is in future tense, and implies that he’ll have the last laugh.
