The Trap: Single-syllable words like "geert" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "geert" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "geert is" sounds like "geert-iz").
