I wondered if this was the fix, however I was worried because it's not
quite what the Reference Grammar (online HTML version) says :

    If the final syllable of one word is stressed, and the first
    syllable of the next word is stressed, you must insert a pause or
    glottal stop between the two stressed syllables. Thus

In this case the 1st syllable of the next word isn't stressed so this
requirement doesn't apply.

Anyway, pausing generally after a cmavo with final stress seems a good
solution.
