Perhaps. But I've never seen "heheh" before. Is this an ad-hoc
palindrome cum onomatopoeia?

Nice stuff!
In addition, I was wondering what such a word would be called. Does a
descriptive term already exiist, ie: a Palindromatic Onomatopoeia, or
maybe an Onomatopoeiac Palindrome? Or is "palindrome cum onomatopoeia"
(per Arcadian Rises) the proper term?

A neopalindrome?

Is onomatopoeia countable?

Four separate panindromes, methinks.

Reminds me of an event in my life, so I'll post it.
Back in '63 or '64 my then wife was taking a night course in computer
science. One night when she got home she said "We were studying
programs that run the same way forwards and backwards, called ... uh
... uh...". I said "Palindromic programs." She was pretty startled, and
asked how I knew that. I gave her a kind of serious look and said "Able
was I ere I saw Elba".
She just looked at me blankly.
No great surprise that we're divorced...

In fact, what I really think is that they are "Four separate
palindromes".

Each individual word is a palindrome, like "level".

My mistake. I was thinking of palindromes primarily as sentences or verses
rather than individual words.

Stephen Fry contrived invoking the Dark Lord to bless his (then) new
cassette deck, which was loaded to play music recorded on high quality
metal tape:
"Satan, oscillate my metallic sonatas."
(Omigod, I just googled the palindrome and got 41,300 hits. I first
read it in Fry's collection of writings: "Paperweight". IIRC, he
didn't attribute it to anyone in particular.)

I probably would have said "Sums are not set as a test on Erasmus."

Definitely more apt. I guess I should say "Definitely more On

Surprisingly, it's not in Michael Donner's _I Love Me, Vol. I.
