. Note that in
LT, when case-marked nouns ending in a vowel, such as the
accusative, are followed by words (usually verbs or postpositions)
that begin with hard consonants, those consonants are doubled.
Thus ÇÂÙƤ ½Ô¯¢Ø»¨ `I saw him', ÇÂÙƤ ½Ô¯¢â ¶ÕÀբػ¨
`I laughed at him', etc. This doubling rule is followed by some
writers when writing ST, but we will not use it in this grammar,
since the LT rule is essentially a spelling rule, and no such
rules exist for ST.
