Text
In Muscogee, an Indigenous language from the southeastern region of what is now the United States, hátki means "white," whereas háthaki is used to refer to two or more white things. 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 "há" in hátki gets repeated in háthaki. There are many examples of this type of reduplication in Muscogee.
