stress is easy enough - the vowel before the last consonant - leUko. glosa
says that it is based on alternation of vowel /consonant, a very good idea, but then ignores it! if we apply that principle, there would be no double vowels but if we do, i suggest that we insert the consonant “j” very quietly between pairs of vowels, “lejuko” “ u(j) andro(j) es” glosa does this to some extent “un andro”, “ad andro” but not with “plu andro”! we could have “uj andro aj andro pluj andro”. if this were generally accepted the “j” would not need to be written. once when I was trying to help a south east asian boy with his english, I
pointed to a picture and he said “bokaso”. when I asked him to write it I got
“box” he was following the glosa principle of alternating C and V. I believe there are many english words incorporated in japanese but using CVCVCVC . glosa could do the same - we have 5 vowels a e i o u if we used “schwa” which is mid way between the 5, we could get “k#san#to” where # stands for “schwa” -
we would say it as quietly as possible “k#santo” and if the # would disappear so if it is hard to say use #, the japaneses do it is done on bengla and in
italian would that help?
