Ye have another sort of repetition, when.. ye iterate one word without any intermission, as thus—It was Maryne, Maryne, that wrought mine woe.. The Greekes call him, Epizeuxis, the Latins Subiunctio. - 1589, Puttenham
(at least he didn't say *reiterate)
I really dislike the OED pronunciation guide; to wit:
(epI"zju:ksIs) : with the 'e' an epsilon and the middle vowel looking sort of like th:s.
here's a more reasonable *guess (this word really hasn't been used all that much) from Norman Schur:
ep ih ZOOHK sis
the word actually means, from its roots, to join upon.
Keeping time, time, time,
In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinnabulation that so musically wells
From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
Bells, bells, bells.
-Edgar Allan Poe
Hear, hear!
