I remember that time I started thinking about that we have similar construct in Persian. Not only we repeat words to indicate plurality we also might change the second word to indicate assorted plurality. I have always been interested in how words are shaped. Even from early childhood my brain could automatically recognise the way a word is shaped. Sometimes learning about words root feels like the joy you will have after solving a puzzle.
