Are you saying that [D=] can be *stressed*?  I guess "Peter" would only get
secondary stress here anyway.

I also know a Danish Peter who insists that his name is ['p_hed_0.A] rather
than ['p_heD=.A], since it is not spelled "Peder".  I'm trying to
transcribe his actual pronunciation as I hear it.  I don't know if the two
of you have different pronunciations, or if the two of us have different
transcription habits! :-)
