If I'm using an accent to mark the stress, and the language the name came from
has a simple stress or pitch accent (not different ways a syllable can be
stressed), I always use the acute accent. If it has a tonal pitch accent or is
tonal, I may use more than one accent. If the word doesn't have a stressed
syllable, I'm not sure how to indicate that, as the pronunciation rules
specify which syllable to stress by default.
I have ideas about the default stress (the rules in the Book are incomplete
when cmevla are involved). Should I discuss it openly in the list or privately
with someone (probably xorxes)?
Privacy is not the best policy imo. If this list is inappropriate for such topic fi'o jinvi do then you might wanna use http://mw.lojban.org/index.php/Special:AWCforum/ for that informing others that u posted a question there.
