This case involved capturing a Turkic suffix stutter that unexpectedly manifested in English. It occurred during the early stages of reconnecting with the Türkiyenli language--| a term I now use out of frustration with labels like Turkey-Turkish or that which comes from the country formerly known as Turkey. The conventional naming of the language clearly needs revision too, like Türkiye`nçe, but I digress from the main point.

The technical jargon for this type of stutter remains uncertain. Although it may resemble a stammer, it doesn’t quite match a typical stutter; instead, it feels like a repeatedly jarring mental glitch. For now, I'll refer to it as a Türkiyenli [slyummer] or [slyutter].
