To determine stress, drop the final mora, and assign stress to the last heavy syllable (i.e. with more than 1 mora). In ''Ȝagmì'' words, ''nn ll rr'' in unstressed syllables may attract stress: ''fìrinne'' /fɪˈrɪn:ə/ 'truth'. | To determine stress, drop the final mora, and assign stress to the last heavy syllable (i.e. with more than 1 mora).

Intervocalic Irish ''ṁ ḃ'' in an originally unstressed syllable are borrowed as underlying geminate /v({{uvu}})/ which also attracts stress: '' | Intervocalic Irish ''ṁ ḃ'' in an originally unstressed syllable are borrowed as underlying geminate /v({{uvu}})/ which also attracts stress: ''oifigeṁṁail'' /ɔfɪˈcɛwʶwʶəl/ 'official (sg.)'. Similarly most cases of intervocalic slender ''d{{cda}} g{{cda}}'' in unstressed syllables become geminate /j/. These geminate semivowels lose gemination and syncope the schwa when a suffix is added: ''oifigeṁṁala'' /ɔfɪˈcɛwʶl{{uvu}}ə/ 'official (pl.)'; cf. ''dajjeb'' /'t{{uvu}}ajjəp/ 'good (m.sg.)' -> ''dajjbe'' /'t{{uvu}}ajpə/ 'good (f.sg. and pl.)'. | ||

Most native non-nisba adjectives have the same declension: m. sg. -0, f. sg. ''-a/e'', pl. ''-a/e''. Nisba adjectives decline as ''-ì, -ìje, -ìje'' (-i -ī́jə -ī́jə). All adjectives have an ''-a/-e'' plural; this comes from Arabic broken plurals taking feminine singular agreement, and spread to all plural adjectives under the influence of Irish plural ''-a/-e'' for adjectives. | Most native non-nisba adjectives have the same declension: m. sg. -0, f. sg.
