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/.
