We might as easily generalize that {'ang} is to convert a hidden or secret object into an object that is seen or known, while {cha'} is to cause a picture or image to appear. You {cha'} pictures (hence the parenthetical notation in the dictionary entry), but you {'ang} actual objects or secrets. Pictures may represent these objects or secrets, so you might {cha'} the picture of the thing you {'ang}.
None of this implies significance or novelty so much as it does a degree of abstraction. If I tell you a password, {peghmu' vI'ang}. If I type in a command to a computer in order to cause the {HaSta} to display the password, {peghmu' vIcha'}. That's because I'm not actually displaying the password. I'm displaying a picture of the password.
That's my interpretation, anyway.
