Resolving ambiguity in gismu starting with "cu..."

[Christian Abbott]

Since Lojban is syntactically unambiguous, is one of the following two (phonetically equivalent) utterances grammatically incorrect?  If so, which one and how?

do cu prami (You love)

do cupra mi (You produce me)

Thanks in advance for the help.

These two are differentiated by the stress:

do cu PRAmi

do CUpra mi

Additionally, if you were to write them out without spaces: 

docuprami (or do cuprami),

 the rule is that CV at the beginning of a word that can "fall off" into a separate word while leaving everything else valid do so.  So in other words, these would always be interpreted as "do cu prami" and not "do cupra  mi" If you want the second interpretation you MUST put a space after the a in the written form, unless you are indicating stress (i.e "doCUprami" would be legal for "do cupra mi", but please please don't do it.  Also, some computer parsers will understand this form (e.g.camxes) others won't (jbofi'e) ).  This is an artifact of the fact that in writing we don't typically indicate the stress, but let the spaces do it for us.
