Speech & Pronunciation

Pronunciation: Linking vowels (glide).

The phrase: "I saw it" phonetically looks like: /a? 's? ?t/

There should be a glide between the words "saw" and "it" but I'm not sure which one, the "y" or the "w" glide.

/a? 's?(w)?t/ or
/a? 's?(y)?t/

Which pronunciation is correct?
Thank you!

Zoltán Király I'm not sure which one, the "y" or the "w" glide. Neither. There is no perceptible glide in that case.
