[lojban-beginners] Re: POM: the Princess puts her foot down

[Alex Martini <alexjm@umich.edu>]

I think part of the issue is that Lojban actually has 2 kinds of  
syllables, or two different ways to break a word into syllables. As  
far as making words is concerned, it seems that y'y doesn't "count"  
as a consonant or a vowel. This lets us have a lot more cmavo than we  
would otherwise have. But when pronouncing Lojban, y'y has to break a  
syllable. My confusion is around stress -- do you assign stress based  
on the morphological syllables or based on the phonemic syllables?

Or am I still thinking about y'y from the wrong angle?
