Gemination was phonemic in Early Ancient Wiebian and was often marked with double letters. The gemination sign, transcribed as '''c''' (''Ang'', deriving from {{sc|ˀangom}}, the Primitive [[Tergetian]] letter for the glottal stop), is also often used in Early Ancient Wiebian texts. It acts like the Japanese ''sokuon'' symbol: ''nu swicle'' /nuː(ə) s̺wilːə/ 'I slid (intransitive)' (Standard Ancient Wiebian ''nu schwille''). 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 /k/ after a short vowel, and '''ch''' [x], which was in complementary distribution with '''h''' [h] by that time.

====Late Ancient Wiebian====
====Standard Ancient Wiebian====
The beginning of the '''Standard Ancient Wiebian''' (SAW), '''Classical Wiebian''' (CW), or '''Late Ancient Wiebian''' (LAW) period is taken to be the standardization of the orthography under the ruler Neumer-Kaid (2300 HM years before present).
