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
Which section did you find that in? In chapter 4 section 9, point number 5, the following is the text in the html file which matches the book hardcopy. If you are referring to the text in chapter 4 section 2, that is an incomplete statement of the rule (all of the cases where the first syllable of the next word is stressed are covered by the above rule or one of the other rules in section 9).
5) If the last syllable of a word bears the stress, and a brivla follows,
the two must be separated by a pause, to prevent
confusion with the primary stress of the brivla. In this case, the
first word must be either a cmavo or a cmene with unusual
stress (which already ends with a pause, of course).
