ela palatal
Catalan edit
Noun edit
ela palatal f (plural eles palatals)
- the Latin digraph ⟨LL⟩ (titlecase ⟨Ll⟩; lowercase ⟨ll⟩)
- Synonym: ela doble
- Coordinate term: ela geminada
Usage notes edit
- The ela palatal is used in Catalan to represent the palatal lateral /ʎ/ with a digraph ll, so to indicate where a doubled alveolar lateral is intended /l.l/, a punt volat ( · , “interpunct”) is placed between the two ells to form an ela geminada.
