 In my weird brain :
 
 xNM = extract substring from position N for up to M characters


wolf -> wwoollff

 x01d = extract letter '"w"olf' then w duplicated (duplicated with "d") 
= ww
 x11d = extract letter 'w"o"lf' then o duplicated (duplicated with "d") 
= oo
 x21d = extract letter 'wo"l"f' then l duplicated (duplicated with "d") 
= ll
 x31d = extract letter 'wol"f"' then f duplicated (duplicated with "d") 
= ff

 finally ww+oo+ll+ff = "wwoollff", but it wasn't the right thing to do.

Could you show us how works your example, with clear explaination like 
I do ?
