Stress in Zemljask, in theory, is unpredictable, however it most often is placed moderately heavily on the initial syllable. | |||

| Alovac || [ˈalovat͡s] || Here, the stress is placed on the initial syllable. | |||

| Alovca || [alˈoʋt͡sa] || However, stress often moves in certain inflections. In this case, the loss of a vowel pushes it forwards, like in most roots with mobile vowels. | |||
|- | |||
| Fanèla || [fa.ˈnɛ.la] || In most Illyrian loans, and a few native Zemljask words, the stress falls on the penultimate syllable. | |||
|- | |||
| Gavati || [ga.ˈva.ti] || For verbs, the stress on the infinitive is penultimate. | |||

| Gavaš || [ˈga.vaʃ] || While the primary stress when conjugated falls upon the root-final syllable. | |||

| Gavljenje || [gaʋ.ˈʎɛ.ɲɛ] || When an ending is composed of multiple syllables, the verb once again gains penultimate stress. | |||

==Morphophonology== | |||
There exists in Zemljask a rich morphophonology of numerous variations in stems that take place under a variety of conditions: | |||
===Consonant Alternation=== | |||
# Consonants are split into hard and soft, based on their phonetic value and may alternate between these forms under certain conditions (typically Hard to Soft): | # Consonants are split into hard and soft, based on their phonetic value and may alternate between these forms under certain conditions (typically Hard to Soft): | ||

The other primary mode of alternation is the ''mobile "A"'', which may appear or disappear in certain cases or inflections. | |||
