Ablaut can obviously be handled as a Simulfix but how would reduplication be modelled? e.g. Ancient Greek (and Indo-European in general) has a highlight productive CeC- from C- reduplication process. Malayo-Polynesian languages use reduplication for plural formation. [1] has many many other examples. Sounds like we need a Duplifix. Are there other positional categories in [2] not covered? Incidentally, does anyone know the origin of the more obscure terms in [2]? I presume things like simulfix and duplifix come from a more descriptive tradition as I've not come across them in theoretical morphology / morphological theory discussions.
