You don't need a pause in {la selterpa xirma ponse}. (The original name was=

compressed, leading to the misleading translation "Man Afraid of his Horses=
".)=20
You need a pause only after a cmevla, before a cmevla (in dotside), before =
a=20
word starting with a vowel, and in some cases of cmavo with 'y' in them or=

stressed on the last syllable.

From what I've read about Japanese phonetics,  /d=CA=92/ and /=CA=92/ have =
fallen=20
together, as have /dz/ and /z/ (allophones of /d/ and /z/ before /i/ and /u=
/),=20
but /t=CA=83/ and /=CA=83/ and /ts/ and /s/ have not. They are still distin=
guished in=20
kana though.

Since this is a beginner's question, shouldn't it be on the beginners' list=
?
