But it might be a good idea to clarify with IPA in cases where some more obscure pronunciation rules take effect. For example, should the hypothetical name "kuias." be pronounced [kwI.As] or [kujas]? If "kuias." were really a name, people should be able to look it up in a dictionary instead of working through the necessary chapters of CLL. Another case is that a good dictionary should have an appendix (a prependix?) which give most or all pronunciation rules. -- mu'o mi'e tsali
