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'.

Irish ''ṁ ḃ'' in an originally unstressed syllable are borrowed as underlying geminate /v({{uvu}})/ which also attracts stress: ''oifigeṁail'' /ɔfɪˈɟɛwʶwʶəl/ 'official (sg.)'. Similarly most cases of 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: ''oifigeṁala'' /ɔfɪˈɟɛwʶl{{uvu}}ə/ 'official (pl.)'; cf. ''dajjeb'' /'t{{uvu}}ajjəp/ 'good (m.sg.)' -> ''dajjbe'' /'t{{uvu}}ajpə/ 'good (f.sg. and pl.)'.
