In Uatakassi, geminate /gg/ is usually realized as [Ng]. /bb/ and /dd/ are occasionally realized as [mb] or [nd], but its not nearly as common, and is stigmatized (however, most dialects did change those to mb and nd). But, even the most pedantic speaker uses [Ng] fairly often. -- "No just cause can be advanced by terror" ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTaylor42
