<br class=""> There are two ways to do this. If you just want to do this occasionally for one or two words, you can use the form
<br class="">↫g↫gou3 [: 狗]
<br class="">then MOR will ignore the ↫g↫gou3 and only make use of 狗.
<br class=""> Alternatively, if you want to study phonology systematically, you can create a complete %pho tier.
<br class=""> Your example also makes the important point that the systematic coding of disfluencies faces some challenges in Chinese and other languages with whole-character coding. I see that you are using disfluency coding for the repetition of the initial consonant. If you wanted to study this extensively, it might almost be best to create a secondary %ort line that would be the basis of a complete Pinyin transcription.

<br class="">> Hi,
<br class="">> Is there any recommended way of coding Mandarin transcripts in Chinese characters at the sound level, while still running Mor successfully? For example, initial sound repetition in 狗 (↫g↫gou3) 看 到 了. We tried replacing the character with pinyin but Mor doesn't recognize it.
