In the history of various European languages (Latin, Spanish, English, Swedish, and various dialects of French) there are instances of the cluster  mn  appearing as  mpn . There are philological controversies as to whether this ‘epenthetic’  p  was actually pronounced or was just a learned hypercorrect spelling. I offer here a novel phonetic scenario supporting the claim that the  p  was pronounced and arose in a phonetically natural way: I posit that in the  mn  cluster there was temporal overlap of the  m  and  n  closures. The simultaneous labial and apical closure would create a pocket of air between them which, when the labial closure was released, would undergo a momentary rarefaction of pressure and thus be released with a click-like burst. Listeners would be likely to interpret this stop burst auditorily as a pulmonic [p] and this would be the basis of their own pronunciations.
