The (tuteo) second-person singular imperative form sal, when combined with the indirect third-person pronominal suffix le (or the plural form les), creates a rare example of a Spanish word that can be pronounced but is impossible to spell according to modern orthography rules. This is because the correct pronunciation (IPA^(key): /ˈsal.le/) includes a geminated /l/ sound, which is otherwise almost completely absent from modern Spanish and has no orthographic representation. If one were to treat sal + le analogously to how verbs and pronominal suffixes are usually combined in Spanish, the resulting spelling would be salle; however, this is inadequate, since Spanish uses the digraph ll to represent the palatal sound /ʝ/ (and thus salle looks as if it should be pronounced /ˈsa.ʝe/). Several alternative spellings have been proposed, including with a hyphen (sal-le, akin to how pronominal suffixes are added to verbs in several other Romance languages), and with a middle dot borrowed from Catalan (saŀle). All of these, however, are rejected by the Royal Spanish Academy, which does not offer a spelling alternative, instead suggesting changing the sentence structure to avoid writing the word altogether.^[1] Another possibility is to exceptionally use either the voseo form (salí + le → salile) or the usted form (salga + le → sálgale) of the verb, avoiding the gemination problem that sal brings.
