In Gbaya, the notion of the good fragrance of her lips in Song of Songs 4:11 is emphasized with ɓisisi, an ideophone used to describe something very fragrant.

The taste of her tongue is emphasized with dɔk-dɔk, an ideophone used to describe the taste of sweetness.

Ideophones are a class of sound symbolic words expressing human sensation that are used as literary devices in many African languages. Since the subject matter of Songs of Songs is particularly conducive to the use of ideophones, there are a total of 30 ideophones in the Gbaya Bible in that short biblical book alone.
