In Gbaya, the notion of the heart (or, in the case of Gbaya, the liver) being poured out like water in Psalm 80:9 is emphasized with the ideophone ɗayuu, used for wide and expansive things (“Open your liver to the LORD, like a big river wide ɗayuu“).
Ideophones are a class of sound symbolic words expressing human sensation that are used as literary devices in many African languages. (Source: Philip Noss)
