or BEH ah... presumably it's Euskara, the Basque language. In Spanish, if the word is spelled without an accent mark, emphasis is on the second to the last syllable if the word ends in a vowel, "s" or "n". It's on the last syllable in a word ending in a consonant that's not "n" or "s". (If Cervélo was a Spanish word, it wouldn't be spelled with the accent: Cervelo) Now... how does one pronounce Mallabia, where Orbea is located?
