Noun

ela geminada f (plural eles geminades)

  1. The Latin script combination “L·L” (titlecase “L·l”; lowercase “l·l”).

Usage notes

The ela palatal is used in Catalan to represent the palatal lateral /ʎ/ with a digraph ll, so to indicate where a doubled alveolar lateral is intended /l l/, a punt volat ( · , interpunct) is placed between the two ells to form an ela geminada.
