[Goanet] Reduplicative: Cathrina-Fodrina, Moderator-Fodretor etc Thanks Seb,
Although borod-forod or borod- zorod give rhythmic sound, they are both are different words with different meaning. e.g. borod (small crawling creatures usually found in Rice/grains, as little as hair/head-lice) Forod is like dandruff or scales on some peoples leg (above the ankle ). In such cases, people usually say that he/she was not give enough oil massage during the first few weeks of birth. Zorod(d) usually refer to an antigo or aged (person). e.g Ritin: Society-intlea tandvank/Ghonvank BOROD(d) podla … Paskin: Ago Ritin, tuzo cheddo ‘london-ant’ asa mugo.. posreavoile tandull ghe tantun borod-borod kainch asona.
