It makes no difference to the lexing of the word, but can make a difference in 
the meaning (though the same cmevla, with the same stress, can refer to 
different things, e.g. {UAcintyn}). If no stress is written in a cmevla, it's 
pronounced with a default stress, but some sound sequences can occur in 
cmevla that can't occur in brivla:
Syllable contains "y" and another vowel: {uiliymsyn}
Two adjacent syllables contain "y": {stydmyfin}
Last syllable contains "y": {uacintyn}
How is the default stress determined in these cases?
