ਠਕ ਠਕ variations

Isn't it good to know the knock counterpart in Punjabi isn't limited to just ਠਕ ਠਕ? Check out the full arsenal below:

ਠਕਠਕਾਉਣਾ [ThukThukauna] To produce ਠਕ ਠਕ sound, knock, tap

ਠੋਹਲਾ [Thoola]/ਠੰਗੂਰਾ [Thungoora] {Masculine noun} Same as ਠੂੰਗਾ, tap with knuckles.

ਠੰਗੂਰ [Thungoor] Imperative of ਠੰਗੂਰਨਾ, knock with knuckles

FYI: ਠੁੱਕ-ਠੁੱਕ is sometimes used for a carpenter ==> The Thuk Thuk sound a hammer produces when hitting nails.
