Line 283:

If a word contains a syllable with a high/rising/falling tone (indicated with an accute accent), that syllable is stressed. If there are multiple, primary stress falls on the final. If the word consists exclusively of low tones, stress falls on the final "long" syllable (i.e. syllable that is closed and/or contains a long vowel), or on the initial syllable if all are short.

<--

By default, primary stress falls on the last "long" syllable (i.e. syllable that is closed and/or contains a long vowel). If there are no long syllables, the initial syllable is stressed. Words that do not conform to this rule are indicated in this article with an acute accent. Some exceptions are nouns that end in a consonant in the absolutive and words nominalized with ''-n/m'', which behave as if they ended in a vowel (e.g. ''Maxammad'' is pronounced ''Maxámmad'', not ''Maxammád''). A word may contain multiple stressed syllables, in which case primary stress falls on the final stressed syllable.

-->

A final long vowel is stressed by default. If the word ends in a consonant or semi-vowel, the final vowel is stressed. If the word ends in a vowel, the penultimate syllable is stressed. Words that differ from these rules indicate stress with an acute accent (or a word-final ''-h'') in the Latin orthography. An exception is subordinating ''-n'' added to verbs, which does not affect stress.
