Here are some examples:
"lo jbojbe na lojbo jbena lo jbojbena" consists of three parts differing only
by spaces in writing, and by stress in speech.
"le krataigo" means "the hawthorn". "lekrataigo", if "le" is stressed, lexes
as "lekra tai go", which is meaningless, but is part of the syntactically
valid sentence "mi lekra tai go do gi ko'a".
