Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "helenic" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "helenic is" sounds like "helenic-iz").
Maintain the stress-timed rhythm of English: compress unstressed syllables rapidly so the beat of "helenic" aligns naturally with adjacent words.
Shifts primary stress to the syllable directly before "-ic".
