Are perfect-reduplication and quasi-reduplication related?

[Koen G]

Thank you Marco, it's good to have this out of the way. So there is some system that more or less doubles the amount of reduplication compared to a shuffled text.

As you say, there is the matter that Voynichese words are very similar to each other. And this in turn may be inherent to the system that governs reduplication. Hmm...

Has it ever been studied which words exactly reduplicate? Is there a "class" of words that does this more often? Do the same kinds of words quasi-duplicate? Are some words exempt from duplication? (Getting close to LAAFU effects here).
