There are two possibilities for the phonetic realization of these morphological geminates: Either the phonological double is realized with a longer duration than a phonological singleton (gemination), or it is of the same duration as a singleton consonant (degemination) UR - https://openresearchlibrary.org/content/2f96155c-af26-4a46-abbc-409dfe19cf4a ER -
