==Rules== Ubbi dubbi works by adding ''-ub-'' {{IPAc-en|Κ|b}} before each vowel sound in a syllable<ref name=rogers>{{cite book|last1=Rogers|first1=Stephen D.|title=A Dictionary of Made-up Languages|date=2011|publisher=Adams Media|location=Avon, Mass.|isbn=978-1440530401|page=271|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GTXrDQAAQBAJ&dq=%22ubbi+dubbi%22&pg=PT411|access-date=23 December 2015}}</ref> (or, as a linguist might put it, "insert [ΛΚb] after each syllable onset").<ref name=byrd>{{cite book|last1=Byrd|first1=Dani|last2=Mintz|first2=Toben H.|title=Discovering Speech, Words, and Mind|date=2010|publisher=John Wiley & Sons|location=Malden, Mass.|isbn=9781405157988|page=197|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=eHoY3t6AsywC&q=ubbi+dubbi&pg=PA197|access-date=23 December 2015|language=en}}</ref> The stress falls on the "ub" of the syllable that is stressed in the original word. In the word "hello" for example, which is stressed on the "-lo" syllable, the stress falls on the "lub" in "hubellubo". The method of adding "ub" before each vowel sound has been described as "iterative [[infixation]]".<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Yu |first1=Alan C.
