kobikisa
ko-bi-KI-sa
to cure / heal
French: guérir / soigner
Nkisi oyo ekobikisa yo.
This medicine will heal you.
Ce médicament te guérira.
To heal — bringing the body back to itself. Kobikisa (rooted in bomoi, life) is to heal, cure, or save. The clinic and the church share this verb; "nkisi oyo ekobikisa yo" — this medicine will heal you — is the steady reassurance of care. (Kobowa is an older, less standard form.)
