possessions have increased

In Gbaya, the idea of increased possessions is emphasized in Job 1:10 with an addition of “and his herds trudge along hukɛ-hukɛ.” Hukɛ-hukɛ is an ideophone that describes massive movement together, movement as in animal migration.

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