take deep root

In Gbaya, the notion of taking deep root in Psalm 80:9 is emphasized with dumgba-dumgba, an ideophone that designates something bushy such as intertwined vines with tufts of foliage.

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