Not even in names.  You always need to put a "y" (or in names, at least
a comma) between two of the same letters.  This of course means they
will both be pronounced, unlike in "bigger" which in lojban orthography
would just be "bigr".

Subject: [lojban-beginners] consonant doubling?

Hi,

Some English words feature consonant doubling,
e.g. the consonant "g" in "bigger" in doubled.
This exists in many other languages, too.

I guess in Lojban it's forbidden, isn't it?
Except maybe in names (cmene)??
