- Q is pronounced [q_X]
(in X-SAMPA phonetic transcription), or basically like an
aspirated q, that is,
q followed closely by a raspy puff of air [KLI: M. Shoulson, 2/20/98, Re:
Introduction]
- Doubled letters are pronounced either as a lengthening of the letter, or with a brief
break between the two letters. Some speakers incorrectly pronounce the double letter as a
single letter; this is especially true for '' (two glottal
stops). [KGT, p.138]
