Thanks for catching that.
It was a fairly easy catch -- chaparral is a Spanish word, and double P is apparently quite rare in Spanish. I haven't found even one Spanish word with a double P; but my vocabulary is small. Same for double T and other stops/plosives. I find facts like that surprising: Italian, for example, is intimately related to Spanish, yet double P, double T, double B, C, and so forth are extremely common (and phonemic) in Italian. French falls somewhere in between. Dunno about Romanian.

Languages are fun, and sometimes strange.
