To LAUGH — real laughter, and the root behind the name Isaac (Yitzchaq, 'he laughs'). It covers laughter of joy, of mockery, and of confident derision. Proverbs 31:25's va-tischak l'yom acharon is 'she LAUGHS at the last day', which the KJV buries as 'she shall rejoice in time to come' — losing both the laughter and the lastness. NWT keeps the laugh. → first discussed at Prov 31:25
