The space at the end of a brivla indicates the stress: it is always
on the vowel before the last one.

You can't have absence of stress indicators. {mi klamami} is 
{mi klamAmi}, where klamami is a fu'ivla.

You must always be able to tell where the stress falls, otherwise
you can't be sure you are parsing correctly. Stress is an essential
part of the Lojban morphology.
