In Gbaya, the notion of lamenting indefinitely (the translators added the “indefinitely” as an editorial statement) in Ezekiel 19:14 is emphasized with the ideophone sɔ̧i̧i̧ that expresses the idea of going far, without stopping; an endless action or a long period of time.

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