Georgian contains many "harmonic clusters" involving two consonants of a similar type (voiced, aspirated, or ejective) that are pronounced with only a single release; e.g. bgera (sound), tskhovreba (life), and ts'q'ali (water). There are also frequent consonant clusters, sometimes involving more than six consonants in a row, as may be seen in words like gvprtskvni ("you peel us") and mts'vrtneli ("trainer").
