In fact, is it stronger in that before gismu or lujvo there > must be a pause? Yes, before any brivla there must be a compulsory pause after the cmavo if you stress the cmavo syllable occurring just before the brivla. How about cmene? I don't know if you can put cmavo between 'la' and a cmene, but if you could, then the cmavo would most definitely require a pause after them whether or not they were stressed, otherwise they would run straight into the cmene. :) Geoff
