In English, the word ''apron'' is an example of historical resyllabification. Originally ''naperon'' in French (from ''nappe'', "cloth"), the ⟨n⟩ in the phrase ⟨a napron⟩ shifted across the word boundary to create the modern form ⟨an apron⟩, changing the pronunciation of the word in contexts even without the indefinite article ⟨a⟩ present.
