With the exception of ''h'', ''w'', consonants followed by ''j'' were geminated in a similar process to that seen in [[w:West_Germanic_gemination|West and East Germanic]] but much more extensive, as in Italo-Romance.

It is thought that voiced sibilants degeminated before compensatory shortening occurred, but it is also possible that - as with ''h'', ''w'' - geminated voiced fricatives were simply disallowed at all stages (this also accounts for why ''b'', ''d'', ''g'' ceased to be fricatives with gemination). | ||
