Definitions
adj
Forming a pair.
Near-synonyms: paired, doubled, twinned
Pronounced longer and considered as being doubled.
For example, Martin (2007) notes that compounds in several languages (including English and Turkish) violate the general phonological principles in the language (e.g., English only allows geminate consonants in compounds).
verb
To arrange in pairs.
To occur in pairs.
noun
A doubled or repeated letter or speech sound.
The attested forms show variation in the unstressed vowels (Srd. lèppere, lèpporo, lèppore, léppuri etc.) but agree on the labial geminate. We can thus reconstruct *leppVr-.

WiktionaryI think it might be useful if you could add how to output the diphthongs (with small ya/yu/yo) and geminate consonants (with small tsu).
