Skip over, as a sound (5)

I believe the answer is:

elide

(Other definitions for elide that I've seen before include "Leave or strike out" , "Abridge, omit part" , "Drop off" , "Omit (a vowel etc.)" , "Omit (a sound or syllable) when speaking" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal.
