+====Reduplication====
+By directly extending the stem through [[w:Reduplication|repetition]], affixes determine its measurements and quantities.

+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 variable. This type of reduplication is often used in comparison (e.g. ''gīgugánu-ta'' "I am bigger than you"), although the reduplicated onset/coda may be excluded in certain cases (e.g. ''gīgúnu-ta'').
