many bones

In Gbaya, the notion of many bones scattered in the ground in Ezekiel 37:2 is emphasized with the ideophone sót-sót that refers to small things scattered on the ground; bones, skeleton.

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