I am currently working on a research paper which is on jamaican creole morphology, mainly on reduplications. My thesis is that
Jumeican, in word-formation, borrowed a solid scope of elements from Yoruba.
In my country, Serbia, I do not know any person or scholar who studies african languages, let alone Yoruba. Let me be emphatic; may knowledge of Yoruba is an absolute void, or very very superficial, and I am frightfully sorry for not writing you in that language.

Could anyone give me an equivavelent(if it exists) for reduplication with meaning 'repeatedly' in Jamaican (intenstive reduplaction) kotkot = cut repeatedly?

I found only oruoru = every night, and similar examples, but I want to be more precise.
