Again, my point is that {'} forces you to pronounce a glottal stop, though
one might not exist in the original name.  Lack of {'} does not stop you
from stressing whatever syllable you want.  Why make up sounds that aren't
already there?  (If the answer to this question is "Because I want to,"
that's all the reason you need.  But realize that {rejIy'na} does not sound
like re-JEE-nuh.  It sounds more like re-JEE<choke>-naa.)
