geminated
Repeated in sequence
Geminated means doubled or occurring in pairs.
In linguistics, a geminated consonant is one that's held longer than usual, as the double letters in Italian or the middle sound in "bookkeeper." The term appears in other technical contexts—botany, anatomy—wherever structures occur in pairs or are repeated: geminated teeth, geminated leaves.
