[lojban] vowel and stress



I suspect I don't have a correct understanding of interaction between
the stressing rule and diphtongs.

Let me give some example:

balcU'e - {u} and {e} are on two separate syllable (but I couldn't
tell if {'e} is a syllable!)
bAlsoi - {oi} is a diphtong
ca'Arcau - {au} is a diphtong

I'm in doubt on which vowel of a diphtong the stress should be. The
various example suggest that for diphtongs it should be:

{Ai} {Au} {Ei} {Oi} {iA} {ie} {iI} {iO} {iU} {uA} {uE} {uO} {uI} {uU}

but I don't know if it's a rule.

I've also looked for words that had two consecutive vowel that were
not a diphtong (e.g. {ae} or {eo}) but I couldn't find any. Are they
ruled out or I just didn't look hardly enough?
