Thank you for bringing this up! I was contemplating this glide-insertion
in dialects of Chevraqis but didn't realize it (or its lack) had a name.
I didn't realize that Turkish did this--but then, I was looking at
_Elementary Turkish_, which doesn't come with any sort of tape. I will
have to remember this.
