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 ~being 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''). | 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 ~being variable.
