clear / pure

In Gbaya, the notion of something very clear, pure (such as crystal, glass or even a clear commandment) is emphasized with the ideophone ŋgɛ́lɛ́lɛ́.

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