Examples
Reduplicated adjectives and adverbs
The motivation here is that they can appear both attributively and predicatively and the use is to intensify the meaning.
Attributive: lèabagan mòra mòra an fheadhainn ud ‘very big flounders those ones’ (c10_161)
tràigh mhòr mhòr mhòr ‘a very very low tide’ (c06_082a)
Predicative: cha robh e ach beag beag ‘it was nothing but really small’ (c10_165)
If on the other hand there is a sequence of adjectives that aren’t all the same adjective then they are connected to whatever they describe separately and with their own relations:
fhìor sheann fhreumhan ‘very old roots’ (fp07_007)
deug
an naodhamh latha deug ‘the nineteenth day’ (fp06_001)
