Stop+stop or stop+fricative clusters at morpheme boundaries or Greek loanwords also get an epenthetic vowel, but it is usually considered to be phonemic, and it is almost always {{IPA|/i/}}. Examples include ''adviniri'' "to come" {{IPA|/adiviˈniri/}}, ''abcumandori'' "to outsource" {{IPA|/abikumanˈdɔri/}}, ''pterodactil'' "pterodactyl" {{IPA|/pitɛrɔˈda(ki)til/}}, ''psicologia'' "psychology" {{IPA|/pisikɔlɔˈdʑi.a/}}. Word-initially, written stop+nasal clusters also have this phonemic epenthesis, e.g. ''pneumatih'' "tyre" {{IPA|/pinɛu̯ˈmatiχ/}}. | |||
