I'm sorry but you're confusing two things here.

A bold vowel means that the "syllable" containing this vowel is stressed, so the other syllables of the word are unstressed (a long word can have several stressed syllables though).
It has nothing to do with the hard/soft pair of consonants, a stressed syllable can begin with a hard or soft consonant (or no consonant at all).

haku and you just confused me .... =-) [wasnt hard was it hehe]

can you do me a favour please ? pm me a fix for what i did wrong .... and i will edit my posts [if this is okay to ask of course. if you cannot/dont want to etc i will fix it when my brain is working but thank you for pointing out my errors ]

edit : ok my last brain cell just fried. you werent saying i did anything wrong with the words ... just that my explanation was flawed ... so there is nothing to fix except

1. my brain
2. my flawed explanation
