Meanwhile, partial reduplication in Muna includes nouns, verbs, adjectives, and numeralia. The reduplication affects the Muna and Indonesian languages in the same category, namely nouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs. However, in reduplication the Muna language has not yet been found to add an initial affix to the beginning of the second word as happened in Indonesian in the written word. Reduplication changes the sound in Indonesian including the noun, verb, and adjective categories. Whereas in Muna the reduplication has not been found to change sound. Pseudo reduplication in Indonesian is the same as pseudo reduplication in Muna, which includes noun categories.
