a doubled consonant

cerattonia

graft: letter 6
Writtenceratonia

seh-ruh-TOH-nee-uh

This one doubles the consonant immediately before the stressed syllable, which is a reasonable instinct, because a doubled letter in English often marks where the beat falls. Botanical Latin does not use spelling to signal stress. It leaves you to work out that the beat is on TOH by hearing somebody say the word.
