Consonants written twice always represent long consonants, not actual repetation. eSpeak NG’s default behavior when speaking a doubled consonant phoneme seems to work well enough for non-plosive consonants, but for plosives, we need to tell it that the two input characters correspond to one long phoneme, not a repeated regular one. All three doubled voiceless plosives – ⟨tt⟩, ⟨pp⟩, ⟨cc⟩ – are regularly found in Quenya, according to the Ambar Eldaron Quenya Dictionary [1]. Their voiced counterparts – ⟨dd⟩, ⟨bb⟩, ⟨gg⟩ – apparently don’t occur, nor are any doubled plosives to be found in the Omikhleia Sindarin Dictionary [2], voiced or not. But let’s define all six pairs in both languages anyways, since it doesn’t cost us much to do so, and it seems fairly clear that this is how these double consonants should be pronounced, if they ever occurred.
