I think this is partly because in my mind the clause is a unit somewhat separated from the outer sentence (at least I form it in my mind that way), and the stress immediately before, coupled with the brief pause, kind of introduces this complex substructure. I hypothesize and suspect on introspection that a "short" or "simple" lenu clause with only a brivla or tanru selbri might lead me to accent the "le" in "lenu" and to not pause. lojbab
