Comment:
Word-class changing reduplication is also common. Reduplicated verbs commonly deliver adverbs, many of which also have an iconic component (cf. skop-skop - 'kick-kick', i.e. an action accompanied by repeated kicking; huiwer-huiwer - 'hesitate-hesitate', i.e. an action accompanied by repeated hesitation).
