Reduplication is also used to indicate the plural in classifiers. In this case, the space distribution of the repetitions is not limited to the horizontal plane. See the pluralization of semantic, descriptive and handling classifiers in the following examples:

    "There were many motorbikes parked one next to another in front of the cinema."
    "There are motorbikes parked all along the street."
    "The tablecloth is dirty with stains."
    "There is a whole load of sticks next to the river."
    "I closed all the windows of the house."
    "Once I bore the holes with the drill you can hang the pictures."
