      Saw the comment ちっさ(an entire sentence) contrasted with ちっさくねよ！  Not as common as ちっちゃい, but hardly uncommon it seems.

It would be nice if there was a shorthand for "abbr of related term, all senses".  Though I'm not sure if this is actually all senses of ちいさい. Maybe probably? I can only say for certain that it applies to voices as well as small objects. It seems likely to be emphatic, but maybe it's just style/dialect.  We don't mark おっきい as emphatic in any case.

      For the second sense, at least：
ちっさい声	657

We have this
ちっちゃい	1029128	80.6%
小っちゃい	31393	2.5%

Not this
ちっさい	138371	10.8%
小っさい	7439	0.6%

Or this (also adding)
ちっさ	22429	1.8%
小っさ	5370	0.4%

From 2010, there's a whole long exchange on what dialect this might or might not be... seems inconclusive
