bloodshed

In Gbaya, the notion of bloodshed in the streets is emphasized in Ezekiel 28:23 with dekpe-dekpe, an ideophone that describes something like abundant clotted blood.

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