Another common kind of reduplication is that in
which the reduplicated noun root is suffixed with a
complement/relational suffix or -ki nonfinal suffix.
This kind of reduplication is common in all dialects,
and phrases formed thereby are a subclass of head-head
noun phrases that are not necessarily reduplicative
(see my treatment of this in Hardman et al. 1975:3.375-
376). Examples:

Interrogative:

gawg"a.t gawg"a.t.s ‘how many by how many?' (La Paz)
Number:

may.ni.t may.ni.t ‘one by one' (La Paz, Calacoa)

may.ni.r may.ni.r may.ni.r ‘one by one by one' (Sitajara)

Other nouns:

jaya.t jaya.tak ‘after a long time, over a long distance’
(Compi )

k"uska.t k"uska.r ‘from everywhere' (de un canto) (Juli)
k'ata.mpi k'ata.mpi ‘little by little' (Juli)
pachpa.t pachpa.t ‘after a while' (Jopoqueri)

ratu.t ratu.r ‘from time to time' (Compi)
