   Of course I don't dispute that.   That's  explicitly stated in the
CLL in that same chapter, section 2.5: "There is no particular stress
required in cmavo or their compounds. Some conventions do exist that
are not mandatory", and then goes on to explain the constraints to
that rule.  This is the exact opposite of what is has by cmevla, which
says you MUST show their stress if it's not penultimate.
