run its course / distance

In Gbaya, the notion of the sun running a great distance in its course in Psalm 19:5 is emphasized with ndɔ́ɔ́ŋ, an ideophone expressing distance, a distant point.

Ideophones are a class of sound symbolic words expressing human sensation that are used as literary devices in many African languages. (Source: Philip Noss)
