You just have to be careful when pronouncing such words. Fortunately, getting 
the stress or juncture wrong in a word like this will only add the ambiguity 
that a tanru has, or change the grouping, not change the meaning to something 
totally different as dropping the r-hyphen would. A real example which 
doesn't quite fit your form is "baupla fuzykamni". Drop the stress on "bau" 
and you get "bauplafuzykamni", which is just a single word with the same 
morphemes.

Here's a stress exercise: lo jbojbe na lojbo jbena lo jbojbena.

An r-hyphen can be inserted only after a CVV or CV'V rafsi. The wordoid you 
gave is a slinku'i: x-lag-rur-bla-kla. What is a xlagrublakla, anyway?
