 2) Do any natlangs feature "stuttered" consonants in their phoneme
 inventory, i.e. a consonant duplicated very quickly, but with a full
 (silent) release rather than being geminated/ambisyllabic?  I'm considering
 using a few such sounds to a new lang, but I'm doubtful about how
 naturalistic they sound.

I don' t know for certain, but i do believe on the movie 'dances with wolves'
 the native american language used a stuttered  consonant in 'chumane t'tonka
owachi... ' (many appologies to any native americans out there for my gross
rendition of the phonetics as i remember them) but i think that is how it
went... might be something to check out though.

i have in Aniese, that in some cases the finial N in a word is sometimes
stuttered.  i think it sounds pretty good.

oel oushean!
