Giorgio's Lexicon of Word-Pairs (reduplications)
Quite a few reduplications (words consisting of two near-duplicated elements) have been highlighted in other short verses by the authors:
Matching the selection on the above slide, these include "abracadabra", "boohoo", and "beriberi".
Matching the selection on the second slide, these include "claptrap" and "cootchie-cootchie-coo".
You can easily find all of these on our topic-based blog "Edifying Nonsense" by clicking HERE, and following the links.
