====Reduplication==== | |||
Most words (other than nouns and conjunctions, but including some particles) can be fully reduplicated after the word for augmented or intensified meaning. In verbs this can also mark an iterative or contrastive meaning, and in adjectives and adverbs it can also mark a comparative or superlative meaning when the thing being compared to is absent in the sentence. | |||
The reduplicated word comes after any particles that would othrewise be directly after the word. Reduplicated verbs do not have agreement marking except on the first verb. | |||
Triplication is also used by some speakers for further augmentation/intensification, but this is not considered standard. | |||
