Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "buoy" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "buoy is" sounds like "buoy-iz").
In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "buoy" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
