(I realize you posted this like a month ago, but just in case you or somebody else still wants to know:) almEnaŭ. The -aŭ is a diphthong, so it's only one syllable. http://forvo.com/word/almena%C5%AD/#eo
It seems that things escalated quickly after https://www.duolingo.com/comment/8960046. Glad to hear that at least they slept after https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9805450 and https://www.duolingo.com/comment/9146476. Maybe that explains why https://www.duolingo.com/comment/10206045.
No. We only use the accusative on a pronoun if it is the object of the sentence, which usually comes after the verb in English. In both English and Esperanto, to sleep and dormi are what we call intransitive verbs, which means they can never take an object (Otherwise, we could say sentences like "I sleep you" in English). Almenaŭ is an adverb, so adding it doesn't change anything ("Ili dormis" and "Ili almenaŭ dormis"). Hope this helped! :)
