I didn't check all of this, but my cmavo accents seem to be identical to
Goran's except when I occassionally stress the "nu" of "lenu", which I
tend to do in most cases and especially when the abstraction begins with a
cmavo - I also tend to pause or glottal after the "nu".  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.
