# Indeed. The same word you cite is the one I try avoiding in English :-)

In Slovak, there is a compound word: stvrtvrstva [StvrcvrstvA] "quarter layer",
even though the r's are syllabic, it's still pretty clunky. Acording to
my professor, it's also possible to say 'v stvrtvrstve' [fStvrcvrstvE] for
'in a quarter layer', though more likely you'd hear 'vo stvrtvrstve'
[voStvrcvrstvE]
