1) the stress rule only applies to brivla as far as I know.  However I
*think* it's forbidden to stress a syllable immediately preceding a
mandatorily-stressed syllable, eg. you may say {so'u GERku} or {SO'u
GERku}, but not {so'U GERku}.  If it's not forbidden, it's at least
bad practice.  Can anyone clarify?

2) dropping the spaces between cmavo does not turn two (or more) words
into one.  {.oinairo'a} is three words; you can tell because there are
no consonant pairs.
