do the V

Same as do the T, except that the emphasis is on the movement used when you perform this rather than the "T" of the intersection.

To avoid the trucks and those long traffic lights on the cross streets, I do the V all the time.

epenthetic schwa

A schwa (represented by an upside-down lower-case "e" in dictionaries) inserted between two consonants to aid pronunciation. Czech and Armenian frequently use epenthetic schwas. "Epenthetic" means "inserted" and is pronounced "eh-pen-THET-ik".

The word "prst", which is Czech for "finger", has an epenthetic schwa between the "p" and the "r" and is pronounced "purrst".

fagotto

A bassoon, in Italian, with variants in several other languages including German (Fagott) and Armenian (fakod in Western Armenian and fagot in Eastern Armenian). The name comes from the word "faggot", meaning a bundle of wooden sticks, which the instrument resembles. Has nothing to do with being gay.

Io suono il fagotto (I play the bassoon).
