	Lojban Reference Grammar: Chapter 3
		A diphthong is a vowel sound that consists of two elements, a short vowel sound and a glide, either a labial (IPA [w]) or palatal (IPA [j]) glide, that either precedes (an on-glide) or follows (an off-glide) the main vowel.
		The buffer vowel should be as laxly pronounced as possible, as central as possible, and as short as possible.
		Since every syllable has a vowel sound (or diphthong or syllabic consonant) as its nucleus, and the stress is on the vowel sound itself, the terms ``stressed syllable'' and ``stressed vowel'' are largely interchangeable concepts.
