The gemination sign, transcribed as '''c''', is often used in Early Ancient Wiebian texts. It acts like the Japanese ''sokuon'' symbol: ''wecl'' /welː/ 'slide! (2nd person singular)'. By late {{PAGENAME}} most gemination signs fell into disuse and were replaced with double letters. '''c''' only survived as part of the graphemes '''-ck''' for long k, and '''ch''' [x], which was in complementary distribution with '''h''' [h] by that time. | |||
