Thanks. I think hearing an mp3 file is much easier
and clearer than reading hundred words.

I wonder whether orally there would be a big difference
between {e a} and {e,a} on the one hand and {ea} and
{e,a} on the other hand...

In my understanding {e a} is a phrase consisting of two
words (with a little, compulsory pause in between),
whereas {e,a} is a single word consisting of two
syllables and {ea} a one syllable word.

How do you pronounce two syllables separated by {,}?
By making a little pause, don't you?

So orally {e a} and {e,a} must be very close?
