Is there only a penultimate stress, on "KLAji"? 


Ok. By these answers I think I understand now: It's solely a matter of stress. 

I was thinking the consonant/vowel structure was supposed to be enough, so it would parse like:

    lojbo vlaste kudzu klaji

Without spaces, you would have to write it as {lOjbovlAstekUdzuklAji} to get that parse.

But there are words such that it could parse:

    lo jbovlaste ku dzuklaji

{lojbovlAstekudzuklaji}

Without spaces to delimit the words, you have to explicitly mark the typically (in writing) implicit stress. So, for example, speaking aloud {lojbo vlaste kudzu klaji} and {lOjbovlAstekUdzuklAji} sound exactly the same.
