'jabber gently at intervals among tibetan oxen' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'jabber gently at intervals among tibetan oxen' is the wordplay.
'jabber' becomes 'yak' (I've seen this in another clue).
'at intervals' indicates alternate letters (letters are taken at regular intervals).
'among' says to put letters next to each other.
'tibetan oxen' becomes 'yak' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
The alternate letters of 'gently' are 'ety'.
'yak'+'ety'+'yak'='YAKETY-YAK'
