Tamar's extra syllable

Tamar uses a lot of words and she pronounces them clearly, but often she adds an extra syllable at the end when she first starts using a word.  Milk was originally "mik-eh." Book was originally "book-oo" and then became "book-eh." Unfortunately, she pronounces the word "fork" as "fok-oo" -- usually loudly, while pointing at a fork I'm holding, so it looks and sounds like she's cursing at me!

But the cutest of all is when she wants a hug and comes up with open arms, plaintively saying "hug-o? hug-o?"  Who could resist?
