In Gbaya, the notion of a large nose in Song of Songs 7:4 is emphasized with gɔ́mɔ́mɔ́, an ideophone used to describe something gigantic, grandiose. “It is an interesting ideophone for a woman, but it is used with the textual metaphor of watchtowers, for which it is fitting.”

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.
