Stress may be on any of the last three syllables of a word.
Generally:
*Stress is on the last syllable of the stem if it is heavy (meaning that it is closed and/or it contains a long vowel or diphthong).
*Otherwise, stress is on the second last syllable of the stem.
*If the above rules would cause stress to fall before the third last syllable of the word, the stress is shifted forward to the third last syllable.
