Vowel-echo? Is that some sort of reduplication? I have
a similar form of vowel-lengthening at the end of words
to mark the patient case in my new conlang.
I also have reduplication at the beginning of words to
mark the plural. Not very original, I know...
Examples:
piata 'dog'
piataa 'dog:PAT'
pipiata 'dogs'
pipiataa 'dogs:PAT'
