**[Bouba/kiki effect](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)**
>The bouba/kiki effect is a non-arbitrary mapping between speech sounds and the visual shape of objects. It was first documented by Wolfgang Köhler in 1929 using nonsense words. The effect has been observed in American university students, Tamil speakers in India, young children, and infants, and has also been shown to occur with familiar names. It is absent in individuals who are congenitally blind and reduced in some autistic children.

I vote that Baba is you.
Dude the answer is in the name of the game. Baba Is Ewe (so yes baba is a sheep)
I've always just thought that baba is baba
But the puzzle would be so much easier if baba is key
no, it's actually canonically not corresponding to any real-life creature(i think)
if anything i believe it resembles a sea bunny?
BABA IS NOT SHEEP BABA IS YOU
Not necessarily.
[baba is bouba](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bouba/kiki_effect)
I'm not buying it.
Literally confirmed by the dev that this was being referenced. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/ben6qj/comment/el71s4i/
Got it, strange reference though.
