Dear John,

Yes, Catawba has reduplication, both in verbs and (more rarely) in nouns.  In
verbs, reduplication is used to signal increased frequency or intensity of
the activity.  I can send you a list of unreduplicated:reduplicated verb
pairs if you would like.  In nouns, reduplication is used to create
distributives.
