	Sample English reduplicative compounds on the model of &lt;em&gt;flim-flam &lt;/em&gt;and &lt;em&gt;higgledy-piggledy &lt;/em&gt;are analyzed for the interplay of formal features (alliteration, vowel alternation, rhyme), semantics (as parts and wholes), and obscure origins. Loans, new coinages, internal realignment, register, and affect are discussed. Inadequacies in earlier lexicographical, especially etymological, treatment are remedied.&lt;/p&gt;
