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).

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".
