I think hearing an mp3 file is much easier and clearer than reading hundred words. I wonder whether orally there would be a big difference between {e a} and {e,a} on the one hand and {ea} and {e,a} on the other hand... In my understanding {e a} is a phrase consisting of two words (with a little, compulsory pause in between), whereas {e,a} is a single word consisting of two syllables and {ea} a one syllable word. How do you pronounce two syllables separated by {,}? By making a little pause, don't you? So orally {e a} and {e,a} must be very close? Martin
