In the word "besta" isn't there a problem with the accent being on the "be-" rather than on the "-sta"? Or should it be: "To dom ga be sta go." or "todomgabestago" with equal accent on all syllables? The neat thing is, the accent doesn't matter. All words begin at a full consonant, so accent isn't necessary to separate words. Whatever happens with accent is just a convention to make things easier to hear. -- Rob Speer
