despoil

The Hebrew that is translated as “despoil” or “destroy” in English is reinforced in Sar with the ideophone (a word that expresses what is perceived by the five senses) gúú (“the wicked who plundered me gúú“). Gúú expresses force and violence. (Source: Ngarbolnan Riminan in Le Sycomore 2000, p. 20ff. )

See also plunder.
