🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "bhaag" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "bhaag is" sounds like "bhaag-iz").

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "bhaag" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
