Re: [lojban] no stressed syllables in a name

OTOH, Lojban *does* have stress, so maybe a final syllable stress would be less obtrusive than trying to indicate no stress at all.

Not all natural languages use stress. That's especially the case for
syllable- or mora-timed languages. "Paris" in French has no stress.
"Tokyo" in Japanese has no stress. "Bergen" too can be pronounced
naturally with no stress and as other than "byrgyn" in those
languages.
