===Prosody and Stress=== | ===Prosody and Stress=== | ||
Syllables are determined by vowel-sounds and diphthong-sounds. There is one vowel or diphthong per syllable. | |||
The determination of stress is understood within the bounds of the ultimate to antipenultimate syllable. | |||
* If the word at most contains three syllables, then the first syllable is stressed. | |||
* If the word at most contains two syllables, then the first syllable is stressed. | |||
* If the word at most contains one syllable, then that syllable is stressed. | |||
* If the word contains more than three syllables, then the antipenultimate syllable is stressed. | |||
* If the word contains a diphthong or a long vowel in the ultimate, penultimate, or antipenultimate syllable, then that syllable is stressed. | |||
