The Idea aspect of "Talk" indeed means language.
Talk collects Rikchik as an Agent: Rikchik is doing the Talking.
Thus, these 2 glyphs are "Language that is done by Rikchiks" or
"Rikchik Language".
Source means cause in this case.  What is the language causing?
Happy, as a verb.  Thus, being happy because of the Rikchik language.

Also also, to respond to Diana's post: rikchiks don't swim (at least, not
for long, or without breathing equipment) but one can feel the wind
whipped up by a fast-signing rikchik.  (When can we see some of
Glide?)
