I would think so anyways. After all, some languages have various neutralizations that depend on stress, like reducing vowels to schwa, or other phonetic restrictions based on stress. E.g., in W, a cluster like ['i.a] would become [i], while [i.a] or [i'a] would become [ja]. -- "Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe." - Albert Einstein ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
