No, a combining vowel is used when the suffix begins with a vowel.

The word element that requires a combining vowel for attachment when it begins with a consonant is known as a combining form. This helps to ease pronunciation and maintain the integrity of the word root.
When adding a suffix to a word that ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant, the consonant is doubled if the suffix begins with a vowel. This helps maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
The suffix -o requires the use of a combining vowel when attaching it to a root word to form a term. This is because -o starts with a consonant and needs the combining vowel to help with pronunciation and word formation.
There are four set of criteria for doubling the final consonant of a word when adding a suffix. If said word ends in a single consonant, has a single preceding that vowel, has an accent on the last syllable, and the suffix being added begins with a vowel, the final consonant in the word is doubled.
When a suffix that begins with a vowel is added, the combining form usually precedes the suffix in order to maintain pronunciation ease. This helps to avoid the awkwardness that may arise when two vowels are adjacent to each other.
The name James is a vowel consonant e word but s is not a suffix.
To double the final consonant on a suffix when adding a word ending, the word must have one syllable, have a single vowel before the consonant, and end with a single consonant preceded by a single vowel. The suffix being added should begin with a vowel.
A combining vowel is never used when the suffix begins with a vowel. For example, in medical terminology, when attaching a suffix like "-itis" (inflammation) to a root word that ends in a vowel, the combining vowel is omitted. Additionally, it is not used when connecting two root words that already end and begin with vowels, allowing for a smooth transition without the need for an added vowel.
The rule of doubling the final consonant before adding a suffix occurs when a one-syllable word ends with a single vowel followed by a single consonant. In this case, the consonant is doubled before adding a suffix that begins with a vowel to maintain the original pronunciation and stress pattern of the word. For instance, "run" becomes "running" and "hop" becomes "hopping."
The combining vowel is usually dropped when adding a suffix that begins with a vowel sound. This is to avoid having two vowels in a row, which could make pronunciation awkward. Dropping the combining vowel helps maintain the original pronunciation of the word.
