a little folding of the hands to rest

In Gbaya, the notion of the rest in Proverbs 24:33 is emphasized with ɗɔɗɔɗɔ, an ideophone that refers to a lethargic state or to someone who lacks the energy to do anything.

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