This term may also occur with epenthesis (i.e. final addition) of the vowel -e. In Genoese, this phenomenon mostly affects monosyllables (such as mi [ˈmi] → mie [ˈmiːe] “I”, ti [ˈti] → tie [ˈtiːe] “you”, chì [ˈki] → chie [ˈkiːe] “here”, lì [ˈli] → lie [ˈliːe] “there”, scì [ˈʃi] → scie [ˈʃiːe] “yes”, no [ˈnu] → noe [ˈnuːe] “no”) and some bisyllables (ascì [aˈʃi] → ascie [aˈʃiːe] “also”; coscì [kuˈʃi] → coscie [kuˈʃiːe] “so”). It occurs especially when the word is at the end of the phonetic chain (thus, generally, at the end of a sentence) and serves essentially emphatic purposes. It is therefore a phenomenon typical of spoken language, and generally does not occur in written texts (unless, of course, they aim to imitate speech). Its use with nouns in -on [ˈuŋ] (staçion [staˈsjuŋ] → staçioñe [staˈsjuŋˑe] “station”) and with participles in -ou (cantou [kaŋˈtɔw] → cantoue [kaŋˈtɔwˑe] “sung”) is decidedly rare, and mostly restricted to certain areas.
