advance

In Gbaya, the notion of the advancing or charging horses in Jeremiah 46:9 is emphasized with the ideophone pamyala, which expresses dispersion one by one, like a group that scatters.

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