Hi

That's quite an unusual use of 'reiterate'. It's not a word you hear every day! But yes:

- Take your hands off me!

- Hands off!

That is reiteration

#2 does not work at all

Thank you.

Then would 'off me' work as well as 'off'?

Hi

Yes:

- Hands off me!

That works too

Thank you Dave.

And sorry that I vigorously try to see the bottom, but can you also tell me if 'off' alone works too?

Hi

Yes, it could be:

- Off!
