First, let me say that vim is the best editor.

I'm beginning to wonder why there should be a way to indicate stress at
all.

The only place where you currently can choose stress is cmene. Why
should you be able to do that? It's clear where a cmene ends anyway (it
ends with a consonant and a pause).

In cmavo, you may stress however you like but the cmavo are still the
same words. In brivla you must have penultimate stress. Why not just
make it acceptable to stress a cmene in whatever way you like?

This would save the most and even be consistent with the current use
(just ignore case).

Regards,

	Martin
