| | word (eg. for conjunctions such as |
| | "and", some prepositions, etc). |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$brk | Ensure a very short pause before |
| | this word, shorter than \$pause (eg. |
| | for some prepositions, etc). |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$only | The rule does not apply if a prefix |
| | or suffix has already been removed. |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$onlys | As \$only, except that a standard |
| | plural ending is allowed. |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$stem | The rule only applies if a suffix |
| | has already been removed. |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$strend | Word is fully stressed if it's at |
| | the end of a clause. |

| | is followed by a dot. (This |
| | attribute also implies \$dot). |
+--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+
| \$sentence | The rule only applies if the clause |
| | includes end-of-sentence (i.e. it is |
| | not terminated by a comma). For |
| | example, "\$atend \$sentence" means |
| | that the rule only applies at the |
