====Stress====
Stress varies upon the part of speech and the way the word is constructed.
In most, if not all, 2 syllable verbs, when in dictionary form, the stress is on the tense ending.
:"etrej" (to be) = <b>é</b>-trej
:"aštej" (to buy) = aš-<b>téj</b>
For verbs over 2 syllables, the stress is either 2nd to last syllable, or last syllable.
:"sujetej" (to wish (for)) = su-je-<b>téj</b>
Stress in nouns aren't really regular.
Most 2 syllable nouns have the stress on the last syllable. However, most nouns that end with "i" have the stress on the first syllable.
:"mačkon" (house) = mač-<b>kón</b>
:"panać" (bread) = pa-<b>náć</b>
:"valač" (village) = <b>vál</b>-ač (/'vɐlɪt͡ʃ/)
:"livški" (book) = <b>lív</b>-ški (/'livʃkɪ/)
For 3 syllables, the stress is usually on the 2nd syllable.
:"labričnie" (maze) = la-<b>bríč</b>-nie (/la'bʁit͡ʃnje/)
In words having over 3 syllables, the stress is usally on the 2nd to last syllable, but there are exceptions.
Usually, if the number of syllables increase by 1 as a result of the number suffix, the stress is almost always on the 2nd to last syllable.
