accommodation
Result of errors involving word/stem exchanges, where a stranded affix takes on a form appropriate to a stem which has been moved.

Example:
In the error There aren't that many weeks in a day (for ... days in a week), the plural '-s' in weeks has the pronunciation /s/ rather than /z/ which is what it would have had if day had been inserted correctly into the structure.
