Stress in Zemljask, in theory, is unpredictable, however it most often is placed moderately heavily on the initial syllable. 
==Morphophonology==
* '''Alovac''' [ˈalovat͡s]
There exists in Zemljask a rich morphophonology of numerous variations in stems that take place under a variety of conditions:
* '''Alovca''' [alˈoʋt͡sa]
===Consonant Alternation===
This root demostrates both initial and penultimate stress - like all polysyllabic nouns with a mobile vowel - with the initial being in the aC form, and penultimate in the Ca form.


* '''Fanèla''' [fa.ˈnɛ.la]
In most Illyrian loans, and a few native Zemljask words, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable. If this word had come from Proto-Slavic, it would likely be pronounced with initial stress: [ˈfa.ne.la]
* '''Gavati''' [ga.ˈva.ti]
For verbs, the stress on the infinitive is penultimate, while the primary stress when conjugated falls upon the root-final syllable.
* '''Gavljo, Gavaš''' [ˈgaʋ.ʎo], [ˈga.vaʃ]
However, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable for endings composed of multiple syllables:
* '''Gavljenje''' [gaʋ.ˈʎɛ.ɲɛ]
* '''Gavate''' [ga.ˈva.te]
==Morphophonology==
There exists in Zemljask a rich morphophonology of numerous variation in stems that take place under a variety of conditions:
# Consonants are split into hard and soft, based on their phonetic value and may alternate between these forms under certain conditions (typically Hard to Soft):

===Mobile Vowels===


The other primary mode of alternation is the ''mobile "A"'', which may appear or disappear in certain cases or inflections.
