The main factor Language was highly significant, F (1, 33) = 98.69, p < 0.00001, reflecting the overall better performance of Tashlhiyt than French participants.

For the d-prime data, the Part factor was not significant overall F (3, 45) = 2.14, p = 0.11 [It approached significance for the sir-ssir contrast, F (3, 45) = 2.63, p = 0.062].

marginally significantp = 0.066so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

The Part factor was not significant for d-prime, F (3, 33) = 1.39, p = 0.26, and marginally significant for RT, F (3, 33) = 2.63, p = 0.066, indicating a trend toward acceleration of the responses.

a marginal trendp = 0.074so close (0.05 < p ≤ 0.1)

Finally, there was a marginal trend for geminate fricatives to have a lower mean Harmonic-to-Noise ratio (HNR) than singleton fricatives (0.8 < 4.0 dB), t (14) = 1.91, p = 0.074, i.e., to be “noisier.” The same trend was found with the vowel preceding /t:/ compared to /t/ (9.7 < 12.7 dB), t (22) = 1.93, p = 0.063.
