In the Knašta language, there is much elision between words that end and start in vowels. This page details elision rules in Knašta.
Ní (Negating Particle)
When ní precedes a word that begins with a vowel, it becomes ň' [ɲ].
Examples
Ní arívítka-link (It is not happening) → Ň'arívítka-link [ɲarivit̚kəlɪŋk]
Ní al ŗobatsí (Not a problem) → Ň'al ŗobatsí [ɲal probat͡s]
Ní oTsyna (Not in China) → Ň'oTsyna [ɲot͡saɪna]
Ní ameskakatsí vošní (I don't love you) → Ň'ameskakatsí vošní [ɲamɛsːkat͡s vɑʃne̞]
Kwo (What)
When kwo precedes a word that begins with a vowel, it becomes kw' [kw].
When kwo precedes ǰis (it is) or ǰiskalí (they are), it becomes kw'is [kwɪs] or kw'iskalí [kwɪskali], respectively.
Examples
Kwo arívítka-link (What's happening) → Kw'arívítka-link [kwarivit̚kəlɪŋk]
Kwo onas lot (What about it) → Kw'onas lot [kwonas lot]
Kwo al solůtsí (What a solution) → Kw'al solůtsí [kwal solut͡s]
Kwo ǰis drast (What is that) → Kw'is drast [kwɪs drast]
Zo (So)
When zo precedes a word that begins with a vowel, it becomes z' [z].
Examples
Zo ékůtsava (So listen) → Z'ékůtsava [zekut͡sava]
Zo íl ní kompríhensa (So he doesn't understand) → Z'íl ní kompríhensa [zil ni komprihɛnsa]
Zo al tražeďa (Such a tragedy) → Z'al tražeďa [zal traʒɛdja]
Zo èl sen-mwértsa. (So she died) → Z'èl sen-mwértsa [zɛl sɛn mwert͡sa]
