JUL 11, lexicon of word-pairs: reduplications A to C

 

 Giorgio's Lexicon of Word-Pairs (reduplications)





Quite a few reduplications (words consisting of two near-duplicated elements) have been highlighted in  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".
