I hear no such thing, and I speak no such thing. And "jajko" is definitely not pronounced as two words.

The articles I found say that a space separates syllables, not indicate that it should be pronounced as two words.

Here is the article I found. http://www.nativlang.com/linguistics/ipa-pronunciation-lessons.php "It's important to keep syllable structure in mind, since syllable divisions are based on the syllable structure of a language. We may even represent syllable divisions in IPA with a low dot or period between syllables: "hand over" /hæn.dow.vər/, "astronomical" /æs.trə.nɑ.mɪ.kəl/."

Then why do you put spaces there?! Did you learn IPA yesterday? Because that surely does not entitle you to "correct" what other people wrote, especially regarding a language (as I infer) you do not speak at all.

And actually, syllable division is quite often so ill-specified that I start to doubt that having syllable breaks in the pronunciation is any useful. Module:pl-IPA adds them, but I have considered dropping it several times. Too much trouble for little gain.

You are right. The stress acts as the syllable break.

I meant, you are right I should have used a period.

I still think there should be both phonemic and phonetic pronunciations.
