Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "non periodic" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "non periodic is" sounds like "non periodic-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "non periodic" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
Shifts primary stress to the syllable directly before "-ic".
