==Stress==
==Stress==
The stress is always placed on the second last accentuated vowel, and in the case where this is not accentuated then the stress swaps to the nearest accentuated vowel. In the case of two syllable words then the stress is always placed on the accentuated vowel and in the rare case where both vowels are accentuated the first one is favoured.
Gwythyr differs from languages such as English in that every vowel is pronounced fully and with clear distinction. The language does however place stress on the last syllable of a word, however this is not important as stress is considered to be in English and other such similar languages. Any long vowels; those with diacritics or diphthongs, are stressed as well as the last syllable.


*In words with words that are more than four syllables long the first accentuated and second last accentuated vowel are stressed.
*E.g ''donsênanwê'' where the stress is on both ''sên'' and ''''.
**E.g ''donsênansêwe'' where the stress is on both ''sên'' and ''''.

'''Noun Structure'''
All derivational affixes are prefixes, and all other affixes are suffixes excluding the adverbial marker which is an infix for historical linguistic reasons.
{|class="wikitable" style="width: 300px"
In regards to the order of the attaching of suffixes, case takes highest priority, followed by voice, aspect, then agreement, finally followed by any remaining suffixes.
