jäännöslopuke

1. (phonetics) a virtual phoneme at the end of a word that causes gemination

In the Finnish language, (sandhi-induced) gemination (rajakahdennus) is the phenomenon in which the first consonant of the following word becomes geminated. If the next word begins with a vowel, there is a double glottal stop between the words. The tendency of a word to cause gemination in the following word, which is what jäännöslopuke as a term describes, is sometimes marked with [ˣ] or [(ʔ)] in IPA and the actual gemination of a consonant may be marked with [ː] or by doubling the consonant (see purje, vene, purjevene).

tule ([ˈt̪ule̞ˣ]) come + tänne ([ˈt̪ænːe̞ˣ]) here + autolla ([ˈɑut̪o̞lːɑ]) by car → [ˈt̪ule̞ˈt̪ːænːe̞ʔʔˈɑut̪olːɑ]

More information on gemination in Finnish can be found in the Wikipedia article on Finnish phonology.
