In the preceding example, the word name  ends in a consonant sound [m] (the e  is silent and doesn't count), and  is  starts with a vowel sound [i], so  naymiz just naturally flows together. In because I've, the [z] sound at the end of  because and the [äi] sound of  I  blend together smoothly.  When you say the last line [pi●kəpän the(y)ə mer'kə ninət ə nash ə n], you can feel each sound pushing into the next.
