Ah, Catherine, the double "d" is a snare and a delusion; the D is mutating to DD. This is an example of a "soft mutation" where:
P changes to B
T changes to D
C changes to G
B changes to F
M changes to F
D changes to DD
and G disappears altogether.
I will not trouble you with the details, just trust me. If you try too hard you will go the way of the Welsh learner who stabbed himself to death with a cry of "muck this for a fark"

Reason: I seem to have made two separate posts and was toying with the idea of combining them.
