English sandhi (was Re: [OT] 50 Watsons, stitches, sandhi)

|<snip my English sandhi bit>
|Are you refering to the extra /p/? is it a distinct /p/ or just
|a normal lip-opening process ?

For me, it's a distinct /p/, more /m ps/ than /mp s/, so it's not
aspirated. But I'm the odd dunce. <|:- (

|Just let me check - you *are* the only speaker of this version, yes?
|(apart from teletubbies)

Yes, I'm the only one. I made up that word because:
a) it's quick
b) the normal version is inadequate to the task
c) a random inspiration particle thwacked me over the head
d) I wasn't busy with a conlang at the time
e) my muse is part of a union
