Arbitrariness
Ideophones
Reduplication figures quite prominently in ideophones, often conveying a sense of repetition or plurality present in the evoked event.
wiki
A key component of language is its arbitrariness and what a word can represent,[clarification needed] as a word is a sound created by humans with attached meaning to said sound.[16] No one can determine the meaning of a word purely by how it sounds. However, in onomatopoeic words, these sounds are much less arbitrary; they are connected in their imitation of other objects or sounds in nature.
wiki
An ideophone is any word in a certain word class evoking ideas in sound imitation (onomatopoeia) to express an action, manner, or property. The class of ideophones is the least common syntactic category cross-linguistically; it occurs mostly in African, Australian, and Amerindian languages, and sporadically elsewhere.

Notes: it's almost like smile/grin letters are for happy, small things, and the others for sad, big things...a reach...but something like that is being considered by the linguists...rather than words being arbitrary, meaning having no relation to how they are spoken, articulated, ideophones are are all over, and it's tangled up with intonation...the ABCs are like arranged...ab, cd, ef, gh, ij...kl, mn...op, qr...s...tu...vw...xyz...and that's a reach in progress...the linguists must have names for all the tones and clicks and such and their corresponding lips tongue teeth mouth movements...it gets really complicated in a hurry...saying the ABCs doesn't say much about all the different sounds 23 letters can make!...from yesterday: in Greek myth the god Mercury made the alphabet inspired by the flights of Cranes...welp, everyone has seen birds flying in V formation, and the chevron is like the most ancient of motifs...I was wondering how Mercury, some say Palamedes, made all the letters from just a V...having seen Sand Hill Cranes lift off from a wetland at daybreak, I get the idea-they make many aireal patterns...and the myth about the cranes was probably made up after the invention of writing, just to give writing a myth!...other gods made letters too...it's complicated!...OK?...No?
Aloha,
