##### Gemination
|
||||
|
||||
Gemination is found in several languages including Italian and Japanese.
|
||||
It is also present in the suprasegmental phonology between words such as
|
||||
"lamppost" and "evenness".
|
||||
|
||||
Some linguists use the [long](#length) suprasegmental for geminate consonants.
|
||||
The eSpeak NG convention is to use consonant length for [phonation](#phonation)
|
||||
when consonant length is distinct without gemination occurring.
|
||||
|
||||
The way gemination is represented in eSpeak NG is to duplicate the phonemes,
|
||||
with the first phoneme using the `unx` feature. For example, n̚.n for a
|
||||
geminated n. This describes how with the `stp` and `nas` consonants, the
|

mouth remains closed (`unx`) for the first of the geminated consonants.
