Syllables are divided into one of two categories, or weights. These are '''light''' syllables and '''heavy''' syllables. A light syllable contains a maximum of one short vowel, alone or proceeded by a consonant or consonant cluster, while a heavy syllable may contain a long vowel, a coda consonant, or both. If the penult of a word is heavy, it is stressed. If not, the antipenult is stressed. | Syllables are divided into one of two categories, or weights.
