Hi All,
<div class="">In the Rawang language (Tibeto-Burman, Northern Myanmar/Burma) I find a<span class="" style="text-align:justify"> type of reduplication where the reduplication of the last syllable of a common noun, proper noun, or other word referring to a location
can mark a translative (going through or by, or by way of) sense, as in</span><span lang="EN-US" class="" style="text-align:justify"> the following examples:</span> </div><p class="Norma" style="page-break-after:avoid"><span lang="EN-US" class=""> a.

If so, could you please send me references?</p>
