fit to be a queen

In Gbaya, the notion of someone fit to be a queen is emphasized in Ezekiel 16:13 with gɛ́ɗɛ́ŋ, an ideophone that describes the character of being quiet, calm, peaceful without making noise or commotion (precisely what a princess should be).

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