JKP, reduplication is a term in linguistics: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login to view.
Technically it covers partial repetition as well.
Of course we don't know whether Voynichese is language, so our case is not ideal. But I think Marco is using it to stress that the word is repeated immediately rather than, say, a string that is repeated various times throughout the text. But there is nothing wrong with the "re" in reduplication.
From the Wiki: "Reduplication is the standard term for this phenomenon in the linguistics literature. Other terms that are occasionally used include cloning, doubling, duplication, repetition".
I do like "doubling" as a non-language specific term, but reduplication is fine. Although it would probably be more correct to distinguish between exact reduplication and non-exact reduplication, since apparently the general term covers both cases.
