Geminate Consonant Treatment

Geminate consonants are treated as a single unit for syllable division, but their length is phonetically significant.

  • The geminate consonant 'tt' in 'mottak' requires careful consideration.
  • The final 'e' in 'komité' is often reduced or elided in colloquial speech, but remains orthographically present.
