[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.

Ago. Olga, tujea paiyank FOROD(d) podlam mugo. Main ou xemain tuka lhan astana 
borem rogllop korunk nam xem dista

Mhozo cheddo vaddon vhoddlo ZOROD(d) zala pun azunui kamak lagonk nam.


Where as Reduplicated  word has no meaning but just the rhyme.

e.g.  Agxi-bakxi, fator-bator, roste-boste etc

Note: The following  have rhythmic sounds but are not Reduplicative
Alot-dolot
Apttun-Dopttun
Inga-tinga
Kaddio-Boddio
Inyam-tinyam 



Words starting with Ch  change ch to B

Chitt – bitt (letter)
Chondrim-bondrim (moon)
Chador-bador (Bed-sheet)

Note: Chakri-Bakri  has rhythmic sound and different meaning yet is reduplicate 
word.

 
Thanks and do come back should any one of you have any  more queries.

Thanks Professor JoeGoaUk, that was informative.

How do i say this word 'Borod'..Borod-borod wouldn't be right i guess!
