In Hoocąk, an Indigenous language from the Midwest region of what is now the United States, zi means "yellow," whereas zizi means "yellow in spots." 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 entire word zi gets repeated in zizi. There are many examples of this type of reduplication in Hoocąk.
