Consonant Merging

If two consonants are the same and there is a different consonant in between them (i.e. Izg zik), it would be merged to (ižik or izik). This occurs in any case of a pronoun followed by an action. If two consonants next to each other are the same, they either remain as they are or merge into a long form of the consonant. This is only visible in an IPA transcription. For example, b + b could be left as bb or could become /b:/.
