Re: //ll// > /d`d`/ etc. (was: Re: [romconlang] Re: Will you please send me stories in your romlangs?)



<snip all the cool stuff>

In Carrajina this is what happened:

L > /l/
LL > /Z/
M > /m/
MM > /m/
N > /n/
NN > /J\ /


Intervocallically (if palatalization did not apply)

P > /b/
PP > /p/
T > /d/
TT > /t/
C > /g/
CC > /k/


B, D and G may have gone to /B/, /D/ and /G/ before collapsing with /b/, /d/
and /g/ or they may have just collapsed together.  That stage of the
language is not well documented; however, I believe there may be an Arabic
script document or two that uses the "emphatic" stops in that script to
represent what, etymologically, would have been original Latin B D G, so an
arguement has been made for just that.
