Hi René,
Thank you for your detailed examples of emotional tones. They also exist in Chinese, and are much more complicated because they combine with tones of syllables themselves. But, they basically work in the same way — rising tones emphasize questioning, tentativeness and doubt, while high tones emphasize certainty and authority.
And, yeah, I know that the third syllable of repeated is unstressed, but this is exactly what amazing: for someone who has few knowledge of another language but has to remember them, they might end in a phonetic system that is very natural to themselves, but very ridiculous to native speakers.
Wade—Giles romanization system of Mandarin Chinese is also an example, but that’s another story. Anyway, it seems that confirming two words to be of the same stem is not an easy task.
Again, thank you for your explanation on repeat.
