Only a, e, i, o, u need ever be marked for stress. I prefer
to reserve capitals for lerfu words, in the same way that
digits are used for digit words. See:

I've never had any trouble with it, but maybe I'm biased
since my last name is spelled with an í.  :)

In what context?

{zai} converts the following lerfu or tei-foi group into an 
alphabet shift, so you'd probably want 
{zai tei basna bu tcita bu foi} or {zai basnytcita bu}.
But I'm not sure what you would want to use it for.
To indicate how a full sentence is spelled?
