Katäfalsen features a dynamic nonphonemic stress, which is always on the last syllable of a word as French. Because of the syllable structure CV(C), each word can be uniquely decomposed into fragments of the syllable structure CV with a final consonant, i.e. (CV)<sup>n</sup>C, and optionally one word final fragment of the syllable structure CV. The first syllables of these fragments receive secondary stresses: ''Katäfalsen'' is pronounced {{IPA|[ˈkɑtɑːfɑlˌsen]}}.
