In Gbaya, the notion of the war against Philistia (and their scattering) in Psalm 60:8 is emphasized with sót-sót, an ideophone that expresses the act of scattering in all direction. Note that the Gbaya translators interpreted along the lines of the French Traduction œcuménique de la Bible which has “against Philistia, I raise a war cry” (Philistie, brise-toi contre moi en criant !).

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