Quasi-Tautonyms

Web2 words with repeated sequences of five or more letters. (Since generating this list I've learned that words with repeated sequences of letters are called tautonyms; these aren't all according-to-Hoyle tautonyms because the repeated sequences aren't always adjacent. "True" tautonyms are colored blue, below.)
