Vowels in hiatus may be split with a {{w|glottal stop}}, catching all airflow at the very back of the throat. This is the sound at the beginning and hyphen of English "uh-oh" {{IPA|[ˈ<mark>ʔ</mark>ʌ.<mark>ʔ</mark>ow]}}.
A Toki Pona example is a possible pronunciation of {{tp|[[tawa]] [[a]]}} {{IPA|[ˈtawa‿<mark>ʔ</mark>a]}}.
