 ===Stress===
-The primary stress of a word falls on its first syllable. Secondary normally falls on the first closed syllable thereafter or, failing that, the third syllable of a word. In disyllabic words the secondary stress is necessarily on the second syllable.
+The primary stress of a word falls on its penultimate syllable. Secondary normally falls on the antepenultimate syllable. In disyllabic words the secondary stress is necessarily on the second syllable.
 Stress is not distinctive and is also relatively weak, unlike that of, for example, Russian. It is not indicated in the orthography.
