===Syllables and stress=== Respelled [[syllable]]s are visually separated by hyphens ("-"), and the [[stress (linguistics)|stress]] on a syllable is indicated by capital letters. * For example, the word "pronunciation" ({{IPAc-en|p|r|ə|ˌ|n|ʌ|n|s|i|ˈ|eɪ|ʃ|ən}}) is respelled {{respell|prə|NUN|see|AY|shən|link=no}}. In this example, the primary and secondary stress are not distinguished because the difference is automatic. In both IPA and respelling, a word should not have secondary stress following primary stress (contrary to some, particularly North American, sources).
