Is this really necessary if the brivla does not start with a consonant pair and its first syllable is not stressed? For example: coi lemlabno (normal written) (to zo'o mi'e .pitr. COI lemLABno (with proposed stress) cOIlemlAbno (as spoken stream) I don't see how the spoken stream could be interpreted as anything other than the original text. "coile" is not a valid brivla, so "coi" must be a cmavo and doesn't affect the following brivla. Is this correct? --=20 EWC
