英文释义

名词 n.
  1. 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-.
动词 v.
  1. To arrange in pairs.
  2. To occur in pairs.
形容词 adj.
  1. Forming a pair. not-comparable
    — Near-synonyms: paired, doubled, twinned
  2. Pronounced longer and considered as being doubled. not-comparable
    — 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).
