For instance, when a short inflexional word like " the " occurs at the end of a line, it is very common to accidentally repeat it at the beginning of the line, and a large number of readers would not even notice it.

Examples of words with diphthongs : ('egg'), ('her'dat . ), ('effective') ., written or, is a common inflexional affix of adjectives, participles, and nouns, where it is often unstressed; at normal conversational speed, such unstressed endings may be monophthongized to.

Stress in Russian may fall on any syllable and words can contrast based just on stress ( e . g .'ordeal, pain, anguish'vs .'flour, meal, farina'); stress shifts can even occur within an inflexional paradigm : ('house'gen . sg . ) vs ('houses').

In Bulgaria the situation is complicated by the fact that dialects differ and that there were different orthographic systems in use, but broadly speaking [ ] became [ e ] in most positions, but in some circumstances it merged with [ ? ], particularly in inflexional endings, e . g . the third person plural ending of the present tense of certain verbs such as ( Modern Bulgarian ? @ 02OB ).
