Repeating the ending of words

Posted in Parenting/Behaviour and Development but not sure if thats the right place or if here will get more responses.

DD is 4.5 and has recently started repeating the end of words, she's always had good speech with just a few tricky things she can't get the hang of like many kids of that age do, such as r's sounding like w's.
But this repeating has really become noticeable in the past week and of course being at home now it's not something I can have a chat to the teacher about to see if it's been picked up on at school.

Sometimes it's the odd word in a sentence but it can be a few words back to back.
We are being patient and allowing her to finish in her own time as we don't want her to start worrying about it and make it worse.

Has anyone experienced this with their children?

Anything we can do or are we going to have to wait it out until the restriction start lifting?
And then who do we see about it if it continues?

Can you expand a bit ? Give a couple of examples ?

Do you mean literally part of the last word, as in 'Do you want an apple?' and she says "pul"
or
?

As in she will say ball-all-ll or cracker-ker
So it's the last sound or syllable
