My example, as like many of my recent ones is from {{JP:灰と幻想のグリムガル}}, and is
as follows:

> {{JP:「・・・・俺も行こっかな」と誰かが。男の声だ。「ま、ま、待てってじゃあオレも！」}}.

The text itself seems simple enough to understand, I think. One person says
they'll go too, and the other says "wait, erm, I'll go too." Please feel free
to correct me if I'm wrong as I really try not to pretend I know what I'm
talking about! However, why the use of {{JP:待て}} and not {{JP:待って}}? And I
guess as a side note, why add the {{JP:って}} after the first {{JP:待て}} as, from
what I know that's usually used to mark the speaker of a quotation, not within
the quote itself???

EDIT: I have double and triple-checked the text to make certain this isn't a
typo. If someone disagrees I'll be sure to delete the question.

question
meaning pronunciation written-language
I've seen 待つ in the te-form as both 待て and 待って; the latter should be correct. Does meaning/pronunciation change and why it would be written this way
For verbs that end in つ, the imperative (command) form ends in て. It's just a
coincidence that that looks similar to the same verb in て form.

And yes, the pronunciation is not the same, as indicated by the lack of the
small つ.
