filling them with corpses

In Gbaya, the notion of numerous (“filling them with corpses”) in Psalm 110:6 is emphasized with ŋgoɗoso, an ideophone that designates things that are numerous, in clusters, in bundles.

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