They mean the second form of the stem is being used, e.g. doani/dúno
"tongue, language", orullo/wérolli "arm", Oraso/Wérso "Venus", etc.

Actually it indicates where the stress was on the parent language's word.
Most words have two forms, with some exceptions like lleda "to scatter", fed
"foot"... I probably won't use the third form, as it's complicated enough
for me already.  (Oraso/Wérso, having irregular stress in the original,
ought have a third form *Uraso...)  There are regular [I hope] rules for
which is used, which I have not taken the time to *fully* work out yet; they
have to do with affixes...


I haven't the faintest idea how the actual, current stress works yet.  (And
I'm not too sure about û either--I only discovered it might be there a night
or two ago.)


I meant to delete that email before it sent, but apparently I forgot. ;p
Ah well.   It was late at night, and I made at least one mistake (it's not
mencherso, it's mentráso... see what I mean?)
