Usage notes[edit]
- In the German-based spelling, d is doubled after short vowels except in certain function words and when the letter is followed by another consonant within the word stem. In the syllable coda, the choice between d and t may be based on internal analogy, but more often follows the German cognate.
- In the Dutch-based spelling, d is doubled after short vowels if the syllable were otherwise open. In the syllable coda, internal analogy prevails.
