Hi All,
<div>In the Rawang language (Tibeto-Burman, Northern Myanmar/Burma) I find a<span 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" style="text-align:justify"> the following examples:</span> </div>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> a.
<i>Shı̀gùnggùng dı̄ráı̀.</i></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US">
<i>shı̀gùng-gùng dı̄-rá-ı̀</i></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> mountain-</span><span lang="EN-US">REDUP</span><span lang="EN-US"> go-</span><span lang="EN-US">DIR-I.PAST</span><span lang="EN-US"></span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> 'He came by way of the mountains.'</span></p>
<p><span lang="EN-US"> b. <i>Zı̀dv̀n dv̀n
</i>'by way of Zidan (thatch-growing plain)'</span></p>
<p>In most other TB languages the translocative sense (along with other locational senses) would be marked by postpositions, so this is unusual.</p>
<p>Has anyone found anything like this particular use of partial reduplication in other languages? If so, could you please send me references?</p>
<div><br>

<div>Thanks very much!</div>
