In a word or syllable which has several final consonants, one should use a silencer only on the very last consonant which is not sounded out, for example:
¤ÓËÃ×;ÂÒ§¤ì·ÕèÁÕ¾ÂÑ­ª¹ÐäÁèÍÍ¡àÊÕ§ÍÂÙè˹éÒµÑÇÊС´ ·ÕèÂѧÁÕ¾ÂÑ­ª¹ÐµÒÁËÅѧÁÒÍÕ¡ ãËéµÑ´¾ÂÑ­ª¹Ð·ÕèÍÂÙè˹éÒµÑÇÊС´ÍÍ¡ áÅÐãÊèà¤Ã×èͧËÁÒ·ѳ±¦ÒµäÇ麹¾ÂÑ­ª¹ÐµÑÇÊØ´·éÒ àªè¹

In a word or syllable which has consonants which are not pronounced, which are placed before the final consonant, and where there are consonants following, such non-pronounced consonants should be cut out and a silencer inserted over the final, non-pronounced consonant. For example:
â¤é§ÊØ´·éÒÂkhohngH sootL thaayHthe final curve; the last bend; down the home stretch
µèÍ·éÒÂdtaawL thaayHto attach; append; tack on; tag with; to annex
µÍ¹·éÒÂdtaawnM thaayHend, the end of something

However, if such word is a technical term or is a proper noun, the double letters are retained and a silencer is placed over the second letter, for example:
¶éÒ¾ÂÑ­ª¹Ð«é͹ÍÂÙè¡ÅÒ§ÈѾ·ìãËé¶×ÍÇèÒ ¾ÂÑ­ª¹Ð«é͹µÑÇááà»ç¹µÑÇÊС´¢Í§¾ÂÒ§¤ì˹éÒ áÅоÂÑ­ª¹Ð«é͹µÑÇËÅѧà»ç¹¾ÂÑ­ª¹Ðµé¹¢Í§¾ÂÒ§¤ìµèÍä» ©Ð¹Ñé¹ ¡ÒÃãªé¾ÂÑ­ª¹ÐµÑÇÊС´áÅоÂÑ­ª¹Ðµé¹ ¨ÐµèÒ§¡Ñ¹µÒÁËÅѡࡳ±ì¡ÒÃà·Õº¾ÂÑ­ª¹Ðã¹µÒÃÒ§¢éÒ§·éÒ àªè¹

If the double letters occur in the middle of the word, the rules are: the first letter of the double is the last consonant of the prior syllable and the second consonant is the initial of the next syllable. Therefore, the expression of the first and second letters of the double will differ according to the rules set forth in the Consonant Table, for example:
·éÒÂàÃ×ÍthaayH reuuaMstern
·Õèà¡çº¢Í§·éÒÂötheeF gepL khaawngR thaayH rohtHtrunk; boot of an automobile
