shlom lokh oh Paul,

I need some help witch gemination:

Why are the following geminated:
-HaLLK,aT,
-HaLLK,oT,o

Tawdi habr!

keefa-moroon

Shlama Akhi Abudar,

In the Pael conjugation - a doubling (gemination) of the second radical occurs. (Hlk -> Hllk). The Pael, of course, is the "intensifier" of verbal conjugations:

Hal-ek -> he walked
Hal-lek -> he walked very much

When we conjugate in the Pael, we double the second radical during pronunciation, but it is only written once.

Tawdi malpana Paul!
