Pronouncing Tokana (was RE: Importance of stress)

Oh my, all this talk of stress has suddenly made me realize that I have been
mispronouncing Matt's conlang all these years.

Assuming a VC-avoiding syllabification, we have Tokana [to.ka.na].  With the
Latin stress rule we get [to'ka.na].  All these years I have been calling it
[to.kan'a].

Oh well, sorry Matt.
