not neglect the burial / your portion

In Gbaya, the notion of not neglecting something is emphasized with wɔkɔrɔ, an ideophone designating an abandoned place, or a person left alone, forsaken.

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