===Stress=== | |||
Stress position is established by observing the quantity of the last but one syllable: '''If the last but one syllable is ''long'' -''' that is to say, if it has got a ''long vowel'', a ''diphthong'' or ends with a ''consonant'' '''- then here falls the stress; otherwise the stress falls on the last but two syllable.''' | |||
Stress can never fall before of the last but two syllable. If a word has got only two syllable, then the stress falls on the last but one syllable apart from its quantity. | |||
Some examples: | |||
* '''lŭpus''' (wolf) = '''LŬ'''-pus; | |||
* '''iuvĕnis''' (young) = '''IU'''-vĕ-nis (''-vĕ-'' is short); | |||
* '''amātus''' (beloved) = a-'''MĀ'''-tus (''-mā-'' is long); | |||
* '''felicissĭmus''' (happiest) = fe-li-'''CIS'''-sĭ-mus (''-sĭ-'' is short). | |||
