Thread:User talk:Rua/Northern Sámi IPA module/reply (4)

If I'm reading your comments correctly, you want to distinguish between secondary and tertiary stress for long words like this. I would just transcribe all of the stresses beside the first one as secondary stresses, as I'm not sure how else to transcribe it.

For Western dialects (e.g. Kautokeino), I'd transcribe it like /ˈaːlːpmohˌjie̯naˌstea̯pmiː/ in broad transcription and [ˈɑːlɑ̯pmohˌjie̯nɑˌsteæ̯pmiː] in narrow transcription. The narrow transcription may not be relevant here, but I've added it for completion's sake. There are a few things to comment on:


 * How my broad transcription differs from the generated output:
 *  is pronounced like /h/ at the end of the first lexeme
 * The consonant cluster  is completely after the syllable boundary instead of being split by it
 * How my narrow transcription differs from both:
 * The vowel qualities: [ɑ] instead of /a/; [eæ̯] instead of /ea̯/
 * The glide vowel (typically transcribed as /ə/) in the cluster

The stress marking as transcribed by the module is mostly correct in this instance, except the cluster being split by the syllable boundary.
