The stress normally falls on the second to last syllable for most words. However it is possible that stress may fall on other syllables, in cases when stress is elsewhere it will always be marked with an accent mark. In words with 4 syllables or more whose stress is not on the second to last syllable, there is still a secondary stress on the second to last syllable. | The stress normally falls on the second to last syllable for most words.

Vurásandi | Modern Standard Vurásandi is described in detail by Z'e Ji Vuqádzi in Vurásandi Esasmátha at the beginning of the present Dark Age. The language described in Z'e Ji Vuqádzi's work which became the standardized version is the same version we describe here. <br /> | ||
Z'e Ji Vuqádzi describes all words as falling into three different grammatical categories. These categories are simply nouns (syamháwmah), verbs (syamháynar), and particles (syamhákik). All words will naturally fall into one of these three categories. <br /> | |||

Vurásandi works off a triconsonantal root system that builds different shades of semantic meaning through inflections. Typologically it is something in between a fusional and agglutinative language. | |||
