Syllable Architecture & Stress Distribution

Common Pronunciation Traps & Learner Mistakes
The Trap: Single-syllable words like "lyns" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

Connected Speech & Natural Conversational Flow
When "lyns" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "lyns is" sounds like "lyns-iz").
