Note that Class 3 nouns ending in ''-ō'' in the nominative singular may seem to be inconsistent in this regard, since the ''-ō'' is stressed in some words (e.g. ''fōrmācō'' /foːrmaːˈtsoː/ "creation") and unstressed in others (e.g. ''vomō'' /ˈʋɔmoː/ "man, person"). However, these in fact follow the rule, as explained below:

*When the final ''-ō-'' is maintained in inflected forms, it is considered to be part of the stem and is therefore stressed. For example, the accusative of ''fōrmācō'' is ''fōrmācōnę'' (stem: ''fōrmācōn-'', with ''-n-'' dropped in nominative singular).

*When the final ''-ō-'' is maintained in inflected forms, it is considered to be part of the stem and is therefore stressed. For example, the accusative of ''fōrmācō'' is ''fōrmācōnę''

*When the final ''-ō-'' is dropped in inflected forms, it is not considered part of the stem and is therefore unstressed. For example, the accusative of ''vomō'' is ''vominę'' (stem: ''vomin-'', with ''-in-'' dropped in the nominative singular).

** The stem is ''fōrmācōn-'', with the ''-n-'' dropped in the nominative singular.

*When the final ''-ō-'' is dropped in inflected forms, it is not considered part of the stem and is therefore unstressed. For example, the accusative of ''vomō'' is ''vominę''

** The stem is ''vomin-'', with the ''-in-'' dropped in the nominative singular.
