You can sort of fudge the stress by, say, making the first syllable higher-pitched and the second syllable louder, but eh. -- Cantr, a browser-based RPG: http://www.cantr.net/ Create a Lojban character so you can practice your Lojban! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "lojban" group.
