Reduplication in Cheyenne is a process in which the first syllable of a stem (or part of that syllable) is repeated. There is often a vowel change and/or a shift in the pitch. See the technical description of Cheyenne reduplication, with examples of different classes of this morphological process, in E. Leman (??). Semantically, reduplication generally "extends" the meaning of a verb stem, for example, through indicating that an action (or quality) is done by(or asserted of) plural participants, to plural recipients, on repeated occasions (iteratively), or in a kind of intensive fashion. One interesting semantic subcategory is that some reduplication typically implies something negative: cf. Oxo- 'what say' and nóoo- 'say bad things'; -tónėstá'tov 'how act toward s.o. and -totónėstá'tov 'act badly toward s.o.'; -ho'ēsta 'answer' and -nonó'está 'sass, talk back'.
