In English, consonants like 'k,' 'j,' 'v,' 'w,' 'x,' 'y,' 'z' cannot be doubled because they do not have the ability to be pronounced twice in succession within the same syllable. Doubling these consonants would change the pronunciation of the word or make them unpronounceable in English.
In the phrase "bouquet of flowers," there are 12 letters. Out of these 12 letters, 7 are consonants (excluding the spaces). So the fraction of consonants in the phrase is 7/12.

The consonants that never make doubles in English are the letters: "j," "q," "v," and "z." This is because these letters are not typically found in repeated sequences within English words. Additionally, their sounds do not lend themselves to being easily doubled in pronunciation.
After 'a' in the word 'path', there are two consonants. These consonants are 't' and 'h'.

Most consonants can be doubled, as when forming past tenses (revved, occurred).However, except for compound words, the consonants H, J, Q, W, and Y. are not doubled.(withhold is an example of a compound double H)
Some verbs use doubled consonants when spelling their -ED or -ING forms. Example : beg-begged, compel-compelled-compelling In some cases, both spellings, doubled or non-doubled, may be considered correct. (For one view on the subject, see the related link.)
