Epenthesis
Epenthesis is a term in phonology. It refers to adding one or more sounds to a word.
If it is added at the beginning, it is called prothesis. If added at the end of the word, it is called paragoge. There are two types of epenthesis: when a consonant is added, and when a vowel is added. The opposite process where one or more sounds are removed is called elision.
