The original deployment of Europic had a lot of hyphenation. A spelling reform in 2101 cut out about half of the hyphens, but a handful of words could not be reduced according to the new rules. This is one of them…
Note, too, that bi is also used in the example in the word bi-kapa, which is not a classical calque, but still carries the classical meaning of pen- here: kapa = primary → bi-kapa = “next-to-primary” = secondary.
Also, the preantepenultimate syllable of le-va-bi-kinsa does indeed have secondary stress, but, frustratingly, the primary stress of “preantepenultimate” is antepenultimate.
(In case you’re curious: Yes, there is also a pro-le-va-bi-kinsa.)
