[Lexicog] Reduplication

[Chaz Mortensen]

In the Embera languages of Colombia and Panama, reduplication is used  
to tone down meaning in adjectives. The following examples  
demonstrate the typical pattern in Northern Embera proper:

purea - red
purepurea - reddish

cadjirua - bad
cadjicadjirua - not very good
