Abstract
This research provides evidence toward the existence of geminates in Cypriot Greek (hereinafter, CyG). In the existing literature it is reported that the sole or primary cue to gemination, across languages, is closure duration. This phonetic study verifies that this cross-linguistic phonetic cue is also present in CyG. Toward this end, statistical analyses evidence highly significant durational differences in the voice onset time (VOT) of geminates versus singletons in CyG [F(164)=p<0.0001]. In fact it can safely be argued that VOT is the primary cue to gemination when it comes to CyG geminate plosives. This study contradicts previous claims [Arvaniti and Tserdanelis, 562 (2000); Arvaniti, 602 (1999b)] that argue closure duration to be the primary cue to gemination for CyG geminate stops. Furthermore, durational differences amongst the three voiceless plosives for both VOT and closure duration were highly evident. To the researchers’ knowledge this is the first study on CyG stops that considers durational differences with respect to the place of articulation, not only for singletons but also for geminates. Preliminary statistical analysis suggests an effect of the vowel following the target segment, a fact that could facilitate in resolving the phonological representation of utterance initial geminates.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
