As shown in (9), clusters (a) and geminates (b) trigger metathesis of the final vowel and consonant of a preceding morpheme.
In this paper we provide new and striking evidence for the view that geminates are non-moraic and may occur in syllable-initial position.
We consider two representations which are consistent with the view that geminates are moraic, and that moras are excluded from the onset.
Since his focus was the origin of geminates rather than syncope as such, the latter topic is treated only in passing.
No such cases of lenitions which only affect geminates or partial geminates have been reported, however.
Such an error would not be possible if geminates are represented in singleton fashion.
Moreover, the homorganic cluster is not geminated, but instead is realized as a singleton stop closure.
Finally, when length and weight are relevant, we predict syllables containing long vowels and coda geminates to pattern to the exclusion of all other types.
In other words, coda geminates would be required to contribute to syllable weight while other coda consonants would not.
Partial geminates reflect the failure of a coda to a-license all but those elements that are responsible for defining nasals and\or liquids.
Understanding geminates : the evolution of consonantal length contrasts.
In most of the cases the mean measures are virtually identical for geminates and singletons.
The consistent patterning of initial geminates as moraic as discussed in 2 is well captured by the representation in (9).
I conclude that initial geminates may be moraic in some languages but not in others.
The question is : what clusters are considered partial geminates and hence moraic ?
