Well, my mistake. You are quite right of course, and although I was less 
than half serious in my first paragraph, I should not have drawn 
non-sensical conclusions for the pleasure of a bad joke. (And anyway
I did realise too late it was non-sensical).

I still think my proposals for default stress on cmene is a good 
solution though.
And I still think that two cmenes should not be considered different if 
they differ
only in stress.

Best wishes,
Lionel
