messy / jumbled

In Gbaya, the notion of something that is messy or jumbled (including concepts like flattering lips, rash words, or doing many things at once) is emphasized with the ideophone ɗulugbuk.

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