fried.'<br />

[ii]. Reduplicative prefix. This method is used for<br />

words beginning with a consonant or a consonant cluster in<br />

the form of [Ch], where C is a stop or a liquid. A<br />

reduplicative prefix is formed by copying the initial<br />

consonant of the word and epenthesizing an [aa] between this<br />

consonant and the previous initial consonant of the word,<br />

-eun- is infixed inside this reduplicative prefix.<br />

As an illustration, infixation of -eun- into a verb<br />

such as sek 'to weed' is done by infixing -eun- into the<br />

created two-syllable stem *seusek (seu- (reduplicative<br />

prefix) plus the root sek). -eun- is infixed between the<br />

initial a and au of the reduplicative prefix, resulting in<br />

seuneusek 'weeding, the space where weeding takes place, the<br />

state of weeding, the result of weeding.'<br />

tak 'to chop;' teuneutak 'thing which is chopped, the<br />

chopping'<br />

gom 'to turn upside down, to used a bowl-like fish<br />

trap;' oeuneuqom 'a bowl-like fish trap'<br />

khop 'to cover with a hemispherical object;' keuneukhop<br />

'thing which is covered with this object, the way of<br />

covering something with this object'
