Scanning fast, I would probably say/think: /bOR - @ - ni - zi - y@/,
with the main stress on the /ni/.
But then, I'd look again and think that it is probably pronounced
exactly as it is written (wrong, no? ;-) ) and I'd say/think:
/bo - re - a - ne - si - a/ using very little trill on the /r/ (Why that
version of
"r" ? No special reason. ), still keeping the main stress on the /ne/.
Dan Sulani (who is eagerly waiting for Kristian to open up to the back
of the book and show us the answer! :-) )
