Old stupid stress rules from Early Rikūtšrɛb

 * 1) Y
 * 2) Y will always occur as Ī when at the end of a word.
 * 3) If Y occurs at the start of a word, it remains a consonant.
 * 4) If it is followed by the letter W, Y becomes Ø and the W is removed.
 * 5) If Y occurs between the start and end of a word, it will become Ī.
 * 6) Unless preceded or followed by a vowel, in which case it will remain a consonant.
 * 7) Unless preceded by another consonant (except for W and Y) and followed by T, in which case it will become AJ when stressed, and I when unstressed.
 * 8) If preceded by W, the Y becomes Ø and the W is removed.
 * 9) Y will occur as a consonant between the start and the end of a word if and ONLY if ALL of the following are true:
 * 10) It is followed by the letters A or O.
 * 11) If followed by Ū or U, Y becomes JŪ.
 * 12) If preceded by A, becomes I.
 * 13) The previous syllable ends with the letters I,Ī, or AJ.
 * 14) It is in syllable onset.
 * 15) Unless the consonant is an R followed by another vowel, in which case it becomes A.
 * 16) If the R is followed by a consonant, the A becomes rhotic with the R (AR).
 * 17) Ô occurs if "O" is stressed and only between the start and end of a word.
