There is an expression in subcontinental languages, "small small".
For instance,
"... ... That was so much beautiful, I can't tell. There were big big mountains, and there were small small houses in the foothills of them. ... ...".
My guess is that this is merely used to express a plural form.
For instance,
"... ... That was so much beautiful, I can't tell. There were big mountains, and there were small houses in the foothills of them. ... ...".
Am I right?
