Stress regularly occurs near the right edge of words. Words with a final short vowel (with or without a final consonant) are stressed on the penultimate syllable, e.g. {{IPA|/kˈisi/}} ‘ghost’. while words with a final long vowel (again, with or without a final consonant) are stressed on that vowel, e.g. {{IPA|/heˈtiː/}} ‘sibling’s child’. | |||
