| Do you mean in American English? It certainly doesn’t in British English.

Except for our internal sandhi makes “heatable” sound like “heedable.”

For English speakers an example (made up) could be how we would pronounce these
heatable (i.e., able to be heated)
heat+table
In geminates like क्क, according to the Pratishakhyas, the contact in the first consonant is not released, and the same contact as the first consonant continues to be held longer till it is released slightly later. In such cases, the first consonant
is called अभिनिधान. [स्पर्शस्य स्पर्शेऽभिनिधान:]

In a geminate, the consonant duration is longer and is distributed over two syllables; the first part forms the coda of the preceding syllable (and, if the vowel of that syllable is short, make the syllable heavy), the second part is the onset of the following
syllable. (A geminate, however, is not a double consonant, in the sense that each part is released; rather the articulatory gesture for the consonant is held constant during the geminate.)
I hope this helps; please excuse the somewhat technical language.

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
In this recitation, I hear गच्छति, rather than गछति.
