Even the "ye" and "yo" vowels. Y cannot stand by itself in a sentence, it must be followed by e or o.

To add stress to a vowel, add a (˘) above the vowel. The long vowels are ă ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ yĕ and yŏ. If a diphthong is stressed, put a ˘ over the first letter and it will account for the second one. Without stress indicators you should say the letters in a flat tone.
