| Sep 18, 2014 at 9:13 | comment | added | painfulenglish | That is also OK in this case, because c and s are both pronounced as [s]. Similarly, the double-s in lass is also pronounced like a single s, namely [s]. | |
| Sep 18, 2014 at 9:10 | comment | added | oerkelens | Just for completeness' sake: what if we consider neither of them silent? The same issue arises in lass: is any of those s's silent? | |
