Hi all
I just got to wondering what is the deciding factor for splitting words into syllables? On page 22 of .i la lojban. mo, about halfway through the section on brivla, is an explanation that reads:
The consonant cluster rule has the qualification that the letter
y is totally ignored, even
if it splits a consonant cluster. Thus lobypei /LOBE,uh,pay/ is a brivla even though the y separates the bp cluster.
Yet there is also a rule that claims brivla are penultemately stressed. Surely then, it should be /lobe,UH,pay/, not /LOBE,uh,pay/?
Cheers!
Johan
