terrified

In Gbaya, the notion of terror in Greek Esther 7:6 is emphasized with ziŋ-ziŋ, an ideophone that describes the act of walking slowly and heavily or refers to someone weighed down by shyness and weakness.

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