Does this make the English paralinguistic click less

express the sound but not directly quote someone else as having

have? Is it also paralinguistic? >>
Well, I never knew that "tsk" was supposed to be that sound... I thought
they were saying "tsk" or "tIsk". In writing, I use "ntch" to convey that
sound because it sounds more like it.
