This is kinda funny, because just the other day, I stumbled upon an example of alliteration (beyond the normal gender-agreement alliteration) in Watakassí: Tipitá titipá /tSipi'ta tSitSi'pa/ The more learned woman Ti-pitá ti-tyá -tu- G1-woman G1-learned comparative infix (tyá + -tu- -> tituá -> tipá) Granted, not as alliterative or as tongue-twisting as some of those on there, but it's the closest I've found so far. -- Yawíntasva natabí, plansusafí nlakússi - Old proverb The boy dies giving birth to the man ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
