In Gbaya, the notion of the exuberant joy of the gazelle and young stag (which in the Gbaya translation are replaced with the local oribi and a young bushbuck ) is emphasized with zaŋgule, an ideophone used to describe something very joyful.

Ideophones are a class of sound symbolic words expressing human sensation that are used as literary devices in many African languages. Since the subject matter of Songs of Songs is particularly conducive to the use of ideophones, there are a total of 30 ideophones in the Gbaya Bible in that short biblical book alone.
