Its cacuminal

In Sarde and Sicilien, some Phonème S comprising a double Consonne have a its cacuminal or Post-alveolar or Rétroflexe, which means that the sound is done with the point of the language which is pressed on the palate.

Sardinian examples:

  • bidda = city - actually, here the sound cacuminal is at the same time geminated (double consonant) (delivery)

  • cuddu, cudda = this, this (delivery)

Sicilian examples:

  • iddu, idda, iddi = it, it, them

  • cavaddu = horse
