Wow, that's fascinating. To be honest I had never really thought about this before, be ir conlangs or otherwise.
But it does remind me of an interesting phenomenon that happens in some languages were the end of one word joins the beginning of the second one, giving rise to a third word.
Are you referring to crasis? Spanish al and del from a el and de el is an example of this.
I didn't know about crisis either, thanks for the source!
What I meant is the Portuguese cacófato
One quintessential example of this is found in one famous Camoes sonnet: "Alma minha gentil que te partiste"
"Alma minha" (kind soul) sounds like "ao maminha" (to the little nipple".
Other example is: " acabou-se tudo" (all is over) Sounds like "bucetudo" (extremely vulgar way to say a person has a large vagina)
Very interesting, I'd never heard of that.
