 The issue of stress, as in most areas of Vadi phonology and grammar, is another area of contentious dispute between the Traditionalist and Šibbūru school.  The texts discovered at Aħħur showed various marks adjacent to the ''Širkattarnaft'' characters, which early Vadists interpreted as diacritics indicating stress.  This conclusion was based on the observation that a vertical slash would appear either on the ultimate or penultimate syllables, with more than half appearing on the final syllable.  On about five percent of words in the entire Aħħur corpora, both the ultimate and penultimate syllables bore the slash mark.
-The corpora of the Kalapái Scriptum, provided evidence that vowel length was also a significant feature of the Vadi phonological system and affected word stress.  Although the writers of the material from the Scriptum used the ''Širkattarnaft'' very differently from those found in Aħħur, the Scriptum provided a richer dataset for researchers to demonstrate that word stress in Vadi was more complex than earlier thought.  Rather than being simply a fixed lexical feature, word stress could shift from various factors, especially when morphophonatactic interactions triggered mutations and word-internal sandhi processes.
