noun

赘音，增音.

The epenthesis of a consonant, e.g., warmth as [ˈwɔrmpθ] (adding a [p] between [m] and [θ]), or -t (Etymology 2).

Examples :

"The added "p" sound in some pronunciations of "warmth" is an example of an excrescence, a consonant inserted where it doesn't originally belong. "

在一些“warmth”的发音中，额外增加的“p”音就是一个“赘音/增音”的例子，这指的是在原本不该出现辅音的地方插入了一个辅音。
