A Toki Pona example is a possible pronunciation of {{tp|[[tawa]] [[a]]}} {{IPA|[ˈtawa‿<mark>ʔ</mark>a]}}. Here, a glottal stop separates the adjacent {{IPA|/a/}} phonemes, which might otherwise only sound like {{tp|tawa}} with the end extended {{IPA|[ˈtawaː]}}.

{{tok|jan Mato}} speculated that ~~such a~~ glottal stop would develop ~~between~~ all instances of hiatus if Toki Pona were more widely spoken.<ref>{{cite web|url=//tokipona.net/tp/Sandhi.aspx|url-status=dead|title=Sandhi|author={{tok|jan Mato}}|username=|date=|website=tokipona.net|publisher=|archive-url=//web.archive.org/web/20130120091240/http://tokipona.net/tp/Sandhi.aspx|archive-date=Jan 20 2013|access-date=2024-03-12|quote=I suspect that if this were a spoken language, people would invent a glottal stop for the vowel/vowel sandhi and assimilate {{tok|nm}}/{{tok|nn}} into a single {{tok|m}} or {{tok|n}} sound.}}</ref>
