Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "trators" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "trators is" sounds like "trators-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "trators" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
