===Stress=== | ===Stress=== | ||
Stress position | Stress position follows generally the rules that were valid for Classical Latin, but, as the distinction between long and short vowels has been removed in Eurolatin, the accent has to be graphically signed in some cases, according to the following rules: | ||
Stress can never fall before of the last but two syllable | |||
* generally the stress falls on the last but one syllable; if this is the case, than the stress hasn't to be signed; | |||
* if the stress falls on the last syllable or of the last but two syllable, it has to be graphically signed. | |||
Stress can never fall before of the last but two syllable. | |||
