Mark D, dialect coach 🇬🇧🇨🇦 :
‹Squirrel› though? I mean that's had a vowel between the /r/ and the /l/ even before it entered Scots or English from Anglo-French.

Thank you for teaching me the word svarabhakti! It's just as much fun to say as words that contain svarabhakti vowels 🥰

Svarabhakti looks like Sanskrit word to me. Is that correct?

Aunt Jer :
Where does the term “svarabhakti” come from? It looks Sanskrit based.

Danielle C :
Is there a reason you use 'svarabhakti vowel' instead of 'epenthesis' to describe this?

Gillian :
Is there a rule for determining where a Svarabhakti vowel goes in a word that has one?

In fairness, “squirrel” has a vowel where you’re pronouncing it, so I’m not positive that one counts!

Svarabhakti vowels are why when I started nurse training I was in awe of badass old ladies I thought were called Peril as in danger rather than Pearl.

I love epenthesis! My state (Pennsylvania) has many: ath-a-lete, jewel-e-ry, draw-ring, umberella, Ac-a-me (Acme), and so on. So funny!
