For this reason we have studied other meanings of reduplication, because it has many different meanings beside function of strengthening in this study. This study has analyzed examples one by one, and determined which examples have which meanings. We have found numerous examples for some meanings, while other meanings have only limited examples.

Moreover, in many examples, it has replaced the case category. Especially it also includes the plural. Additionally we discussed about words meaning which combine to reduplications, and using with reduplications since some words can be used with some reduplications. This is particulerly correct for some verbs. Some verbs can be used with some reduplications and, some reduplications can be used with all verbs. However, word meanings are not only affects for reduplication meanings, also intonations are very affective for meanings. We also discuss how intonation affects meaning in reduplication.
