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