The affix '''-(C)V(C)-''' marks the measurements of stems by extending the nearest consonantal onset/coda, with the vocalic unit between the root-pattern and the reduplicated consonant being variable. This type of reduplication is used in comparisons (e.g. ''gugīgánu-ta'' "I am bigger than you") and evaluations (e.g. ''gīgūg kûnaru'' "a big dog (as big as one can get)".
