In Hoocąk, an Indigenous language from the Mid-Atlantic region of what is now the United States, *okayeke* means "bad," whereas *ati okayeye'tesel* means "bad houses." This phenomenon, in which an element of a root word is repeated, sometimes with modification, within another word that is related to the root word, is called reduplication. In this case, the element "ye" in *okayake* gets repeated in *ati okayeye'tesel*. There are many examples of this type of reduplication in Hoocąk.
