On the matter of repetition -
I'm afraid that I can't see it on the internet now, but I once fell over an interview, or discussion about this with Jorge Stolfi.
Faced with the classic "dain, daiin, quokedy dain" and a couple of similar examples, he reproduced the pattern instantly, off the top of his head. I think the language was Malayalam, or Indonesian - one from that region, anyway.
Sorry to be so vague - I'll keep hunting for it and hope the deus-ex-machina will be kinder.
