Her compliments made him laugh! And then he laughed harder, knowing now that she enjoyed the sound of it, finding his voice carried more than he meant; but then he knew what to call himself. He joked first, saying, I could call myself Kalusruk — for how much noise we made together in the ice caves that day! His laughter was a bellow; he imagined Kukutux hearing this and ran out of breath for all his laughter, belly-aching.

I think you are right, there is no word for everything you said. I fear I will bring down your ulaq with all my noise! His laughter did eventually fade, leaving his face rosy-cheeked and eyes watering. You make me very happy, Ariadne. I think the word you look for is Kaluktuk! The man whose laugh is thunder! And it was close enough to the humor of earlier that they would have a joke between them forever.
