The gemination occurs predictably before the palatalization of the original liquid -l-, compare doppio, orecchio, etc.

çekim: çoğul edut · tamlayan edun
zıt: haitta
köken: From Proto-Finnic *etu. Equivalent to esi- (“front, fore-”) + -u; originally "the area in front of something" (now all but confined to etu-), from which the other senses have developed through figurative use, perhaps already in Proto-Finnic. However, Häkkinen (2004) notes that the abstract senses are only attested since the 18th century.
köken: From Old Danish ok, from Old Norse ok (“and, also”), from Proto-Germanic *auk. Cognate with Swedish och (“and”), ock (“also”), Dutch ook (“also”), and German auch (“also”).
