Subject: Creating hashes with duplicate keys

I want to simplify this hash creation:
g = { 1 => "test", 2 => "test", }

I have a particularly complicated hash that I'm generating.  It can
have very large values.

Right now, I duplicate values with something like this:

c = { 1 => "one", }
d = { 2 => c[1], }
c.merge!(d)

however, I don't like the way my code looks.. I want to be able to
specify the duplication within the hash generation.

Is this possible?
