يَضْحَكُ makes laugh

So the answer: indeed, it is to be understood that he makes them laugh by lying.
يَضْحَكُهُمْ he makes them laugh
A present-tense causative verb ('makes them laugh') ending in -hum 'them', so the object rides on the verb. The doer ('he') is built into the verb shape, so subject, the make-laugh action, and the object 'them' all sit in one word.
فَجَعَلَ يَضْحَكُ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَواجِذُهُ
Then he began to laugh until his molars showed.
يَضْحَكُ he laughs
This is a present-tense verb with 'he' built in, paired with the 'began' verb before it to mean 'started to laugh'. The present shape after 'began' is Arabic's way of showing an action getting going. The doer rides inside the verb.
