−	Epenthesis is the insertion of a sound within a word. Epenthetic segments are often vowels with neutral qualities like [ə] or [ɨ] or copies of the vowel in the preceding syllable. Epenthesis is regularly employed to break up undesirable or disallowed consonant clusters. English pronunciation of the word ''film'' is known to include an epenthetic vowel; the word can appear as [fɪlm], which contains a coda that lacks falling sonority, or [fɪləm], which is disyllabic and contains no consonant cluster.	+	'''Epenthesis''' is the insertion of a sound within a word.
