I asked if in the Rg-veda as chanted today, it is gachati or gacchati that is chanted and Madhav answered that in this youtube recording https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvk2JxmD7zI he heard gacchati. But then I realized I'm not clear what the difference in pronounciation between a geminate and a non-geminate is. In other words is the difference in pronounciation between gachati / gacchati , patra / pattra , karma / karmma etc. just that the geminated syllable is held longer than if it was non-geminated or is it more like gach-ati / gach-chati , pa-tra /pat-tra , kar-ma /karm-ma Thanks, Harry Spier
