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 primary stress with an acute accent in the Latin orthography. Secondary stress is usually not indicated, but it may be indicated with a grave accent (this article does so somewhat inconsistently). Exceptions include subordinating ''-n'' and enclitics such as ''-ne'' "and", which do not affect stress. | A final long vowel is stressed by default.

In verbs, stress is fully determined by morphology. Nouns may have distinctive stress. | |||
