Luthic has geminate, or double, consonants, which are distinguished by [[w:Length (phonetics)|length]] and intensity. Length is distinctive for all consonants except for [[w:Voiced alveolar affricate|/d͡z/]], [[w:Voiced palatal lateral approximant|/ʎ/]] and [[w:Voiced palatal nasal|/ɲ/]], which are always geminate when between vowels, and [[w:Voiced alveolar fricative|/z/]], which is always single. Geminate plosive and affricates are realised as lengthened closures. Geminate fricatives, nasals, and [[w:Voiced dental, alveolar and postalveolar lateral approximants|/l/]] are realised as lengthened continuants. When triggered by [[w:Tuscan gorgia|Gorgia Toscana]], voiceless fricatives are always constrictive, but voiced fricatives are not very constrictive and often closer to approximants. | Luthic has geminate, or double, consonants, which are distinguished by [[w:Length (phonetics)|length]] and intensity.

The historical letter names are recorded in a 11th century manuscript. Most of them seem to be Gothic forms of the names also appearing in the [[w:Rune poems|rune poems]]. With this evidence and the 9th century manuscript of [[w:Alcuin|Alcuin]] ([[w:Codex Vindobonensis 795|Codex Vindobonensis 795]]) it is possible to reconstruct the Gothic forms and their meanings. | |||
