Giorgio's Lexicon of Binomials (reduplications H to L)
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 first slide, these include "hanky-panky", "harum-scarum", "heeby-jeebies", "helter-skelter", "higgledy-piggeldy", "hillbilly", "hobo", and "hocus-pocus".
Matching the selection on the second slide, these include "hoi-polloi" , "holus-bolus", "hotspot" and "hubba-hubba".
