[The basic objective here is to get rid of unwieldy vowel clashes at the word conjunction. There are two solutions - throw in an intermediary consonants - most consonants will work here - or snip off supernumerary vowels until we reach a consonant. Or we can do both. For longer words, it might also be neater to trim off a final consonant before starting the whole process.]
