The Trap: Single-syllable words like "acb" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "acb" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "acb is" sounds like "acb-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "acb" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
