Dans un courrier dat=E9 du 15/05/99 23:52:26 , vous avez =E9crit :
<< stressed /@/ became /i/ (from the allophone [i-]), while unstressed /@/
became /o/, >>
Reminds me of the Japanese issue about i/o and e/a roots :
ki =3D tree
ko-giri =3D (the) saw
fune =3D ship
funa-zoko =3D bottom of ship
Some say there must have been a, i, e, o, u, =F6, =E4, some other think only =
a,=20
i, u. So why not (un)stressed @ ? :-)=20
