As the orthography of the inscriptions permits the use of single consonants in writing to represent the long (doubled) consonants in the language, the number of geminates recorded in the Corpus is correspondingly less. (The basic consonant of the geminates not occurring in the original inscriptions is shown within brackets. e.g., *u(p)pu* for *upu* 'salt'.) See section 6.17 for discussion.
