Unlike Western Pomorian dialects and the standard Suvilkian developed a quantitative stress. It has only two types of stress - long and short which are phonemic only in diphthongs. It merged circumflex and grave into the short accent, while acute became the long accent. For example ''gèidz̗uo'' (to a tit) and '''géidz̗uo''' (to a whistle). However, sometimes the place of stress is different from the standard, being usually more regular and predictable.
