Re: [glosalist] leuka xanto bokaso

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?
