velarized /l/ and Billy Holiday

[Herb Stahlke]

Following Tom's convention for marking a stressed syllable, I count
five syllables marked for stress in the entire truespel text below.
That's out of about 35 syllables that could reasonably be stressed,
many of which would be stressed in anyone's pronunciation.  Why such
limited marking of stress?
