Dear Tentakulus,
Dear Cvetka,
We can compare words produced for humorous purposes or in the form of nursery rhymes with Turkish nursery rhymes, and I'm sure I can find many more word repetitions. But what's the point of doing this? If you want to compare Apples with Apples, find an Indo-European medieval manuscript and show that it contains quadruple and quintuple word repetitions. Even if we assume that you have done this, it is necessary to compare how many of them are found in every 100 words (in what percentage), and you probably
will still have difficulty in proving that a special case that does not exist in the old Indo-European spelling is used frequently.
If possible, please find such an old manuscript, so that I can see the material that can compare VM and Turkish with the manuscript you found, in terms of the frequency of use of these types of words. As I said, if you make this discovery, be sure that you will make a contribution to Indo-European linguistics. But be careful, some Italian manuscripts contain Italian/Latin translations of Old Turkish words and sentences. So, if you find such a structure in an Indo-European manuscript, you should first try to understand whether it comes from Turkish.
Thanks,
