I like this new word {rIS}, for two reasons.

One, I like that there's an implied etymological connection between the two meanings of "making a crackling sound" and then "emitting a signal", one derived from the other. It's fun when Okrand hints at or fleshes out details of the language development.

Two, that pun is atrocious, which is the best kind of pun.

I need to look back where you mean this, but {rIS} somehow means "making a crackling sound",

I think you mean "making a snapping, crackling, or popping sound".
