Sentence that consists of identical words [duplicate]

This question already has an answer here:
longest sentence using only one word and variants [closed]
1 answer
Make a sentence with the most different uses of the same word [closed]
3 answers
I recently read this:
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo
It deploys the fact that "Buffalo" has different meanings:
- The animal buffalo.
- To buffalo somebody, e.g. bully them.
- A proper noun.
Furthermore, the plural form of "Buffalo1" can be just "Buffalo". This sentence means: (subscript corresponds to the No. of meaning)
Buffalo3 Buffalo1 (pl.) Buffalo3 Buffalo1 (pl.) Buffalo2 Buffalo2 Buffalo3 Buffalo1 (pl.)
i.e. Some buffalos from the place of Buffalo, who were bullied by some other buffalos also from the place of Buffalo, were to bully other buffalos again from the place of Buffalo!
Feeling shocked of how unpleasant the buffalos from Buffalo were, I came up with an idea: can we create a sentence like this, as long as possible? Capitalization problems can be ignored, since THEY CAN BE BYPASSED BY ALL-CAPS! But trailing -s, -ing, etc. are better left out.
Any idea? :)
This is quite related to this one, but not exactly the same: that question said:
With that background, the goal of this question is to create a sentence made up of the most different homonyms of the same word. This is not a challenge to find the longest sentence consisting of one word.
While mine is to find the longest sentence consisting of one word. :)

Awfully close to puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/33701/… (which was closed as "unclear"), where Deusovi points out that you can have an arbitrarily long string of buffalos.

Well it is actually true that
Any sentence only containing an arbitrary number of "Buffalo" is grammatical and interpretable. This was shown in Sweet Reason: A Field Guide to Modern Logic by Tim Tymoczko and Jim Henle. See here
Example
Take 11 Buffalo
Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo
interpreted as "Those Buffalo from Buffalo which Buffalo from Buffalo Buffalo themselves Buffalo other Buffalo from Buffalo which Buffalo from Buffalo Buffalo."
