Long time no see! Here is a fresh one for my "See me once" series:

See me once, a pending action is ripe
Say me twice, must I now help you wipe?

See me once, used in an auxiliary way
See me twice, my death is still mentioned today

If you are not familiar with my See me once riddles, I recommend you first have a look at the latest riddles in this series and their solutions:

I think you are

Do

See me once, a pending action is ripe

Do means to perform an action

Say me twice, must I now help you wipe?

Sounds like "doo-doo" (informal for what you do in a bathroom)

See me once, used in an auxiliary way

Do is an auxiliary verb

See me twice, my death is still mentioned today

Dodo - a famously extinct animal, cf the phrase "Dead as a dodo".

  • $\begingroup$ So you did need to focus in somewhere at least, and didnt instantly see the answer. I can live with that :) $\endgroup$
