Especially when two vowels "collide":
So did Jack Kennedy. In my family, we all used to cringe when
he talked about "Cuber". It's called the "instrusive r". In
dialects using it, the "r" is normally dropped also unless it
occurs before a vowel. So, for example, in BAHstan (Boston)
one "pahks the cah" (parks the car). So the "r" at the end
of a word, or before a consonant, is not pronounced, but if
a word ends in a vowel then an extra "r" is added.
And nobody knows why.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
