===Stress=== | |||
Kilīmos-sāîl has strict lexical stress, though this is often unpredictable. As a logography, the Kilimossu writing system does not represent this, but in the romanization, this is reflected through a series of diacritics. | |||

The general rule of thumb is that, if a word has a long vowel, this vowel is stressed. If it has multiple long vowels, the order of priority for stress is penultimate > antepenultimate > other last vowel. If no long vowel is present, this same order is applied to the short vowels of the word (so that any such multisyllabic word will have penultimate stress). Any word whose stress pattern can be explained through this series of rules will use no diacritic (a) for a short vowel and a macron (ā) for a long vowel. | |||

For any exceptions to the above rules, two other diacritics are used. A circumflex (â) represents a short vowel which is irregularly stressed, whereas an acute (á) represents a long vowel which is irregularly unstressed. If an irregularity is expressed through a circumflex, then the use of an acute is not necessary for any other long vowels. | |||
