interval of silence word

I have a question about the words which contains a very brief interval of silence. Could you give an example of an English word, which, in normal speech, contains a very brief interval of silence, please?

The glottal stop, you mean? Eg. brea-k in AE?

In some dialects, eg. Cockney, glottal stop is also an allophone of /t/ in medial position, such as in the word bottle or fatter.

I'll use the symbol ' to represent a glottal stop:

uh-oh => uh'oh
habit => habi'
pat => pa'

bottle => bo'le
fatter => fa'er

All the best, :D
