Sonorant gemination II (forward gemination)

When the next segment after ɚ or /əl/ is a vowel, /ɚ/ geminates to /ɚ ~ r/; /əl/ geminates to /əl ~ l/ (where ~ is a syllable boundary).

Northern states jew#ry(jury) and dail#y: dʒʊərri and dɛəlli

moor#ing: mʊɝrɪŋ
sell#enough:sɛəllənʌf

these are examples of more extensive phenomenon called 'forward gemination'. It obligatorily affects all nuclear (peak or satellite) segments in the following list if they stand between *underlying vowels*, replicating them with a non-nuclear sonorant at the beginning of the next syllable.


after /i/ and /ɪ/, insert the glide /y/ or /j/ of ipa.
after /ʊ/ and /u/, insert the glide /w/
after /ɚ/ and /ɝ/, insert /r/
after /əl/, insert /l/

at the beginning of the next syllable.

after syllabic nasal, its consonantal counterpart is inserted.

laboring 'lɛɪbɚriŋ
gamboling ˈgæmbəlliŋ
situation ˌsɪtʃuˈwɛɪʃən
follower, fɑlʊwɚ
fluid (lento) ˈfluwɪd, (allegro), fluɪd
seasonal 'siz/n/n/əl/
botany 'bɒ?/n/nɪ

Exception: geminate /y/ in lento premium [ˈphrimɪəm] is deleted in English, except in the most drawled pronunciations (e.g. [ˈphrimɪ(y)əm]).

But in allegro tempos, where the first of two geminates gets deleted if it is a nuclear peak, then /y/ appears: [ˈphrimyəm].
