"Yossi Aron":
: Not that I can think of but at least two places play with sounds:
: 1. re Nechash hanechoshet -- im noshach hanachash etc

Nachash nechoshes is not necessarily sound play, but word play. Like our
earlier discussion of "vehanachash harah arum" and "ki arumim heim".

For that matter, there is a reason why these words have a shared root. If we
knew them, we would see that it's not merely play, but there is a logical
point. A logical or causal connection between the nachash's craftiness and
their nudity.
