What is the difference in prononciation between ക and ക്ക?
From what I understand, both of these are pronounced 'ka' in Malayalam so I wonder precisely what the difference in prononciation is between the two.
Please do not answer if you: do not know; you intend to make a sarcastic comment about adding extra details or an even more sarcastic and ridiculous comment about how 'all you see is two strange symbols' or some such; you intend to, rather than give me an answer as the name of the site would indicate that you should, decide instead to point me to some other ridiculous site for an answer. The only people who should give an answer to this question are people who know and intend to give an answer to the question.
If there is no difference in prononciation then could you please explain to me when each would be used in writing.

The difference is on stressing. While ക is pronounced "ka", ക്ക is pronounced "kka". Notice the extra stressing on "k".
A perfect example to illustrate the point would be the malayalam word "ചക്ക"which means jackfruit. It is pronounced "Chakka".
On the other hand the word "പക", meaning revenge is pronounced "paka". No stressig and simple "ka".
