Pronunciation

• caução/kawˈsɐ̃w̃/

  There are two syllables, cau-ção, and the stress falls on the last one, which ends in the nasal sound of 'ão'.

• vistoria/vistoˈɾiɐ/

  The stress is on 'ri', with no written accent: vis-to-RI-a.

• cláusula/ˈklawzulɐ/

  The middle 's' sounds like a z: 'cláuzula'.
