But I didn't say that _stressed_ yers were reinforced. Many of the
reinforced yers were not stressed, though _some_ were, e.g. those in the
initial syllables of disyllabic words with no full vowels. What I have
been saying all along is that lax high vowel reduction/preservation in
Slavic is subject to its own regularities and not dependent on stress.
