| Hondish vowels can be divided into those under primary stress, secondary stress and those that are unstressed. In Hondish linguistics, those are conventionally markes as ''P'', ''S'' and ''u'' respectively. Hondish stress is almost universally on the first syllable of the word, secondary stress is distributed according to following rules:
| | ====Stressed vowels==== |
| | |
| # final syllables usually carry secondary stress
| |
| # every odd syllable (ie. 3rd, 5th, etc.) can carry secondary stress
| |
| # every stressed syllable (primary or secondary) must be separated by an unstressed syllable, except for disyllabic words
| |
| | |
| These rules give the following possible syllable patterns:<br>
| |
| ''P''<br>
| |
| ''PS'' <br>
| |
| ''PuS'' <br>
| |
| ''PuuS'' <br>
| |
| ''PuSuS'' <br>
| |
| ''PuSuuS'' <br>
| |
| etc.
