> be fully reduplicated for a superlative function or other meanings  
> such as an especially remarkable or exaggerated instance of  
> something. For ex in Chini (Lower Sepik-Ramu, PNG) anggunu  
> 'mosquito' vs anggunu anggunu '(place known for) especially bad  
> mosquitoes'. Or as in English 'man's man', 'deal of deals'.
