Nurian stress is derived from a particular stress pattern (similar to Arabic) in a dialect of late Thensarian: | |||
*A short final vowel cannot be stressed. | *A short final vowel cannot be stressed. | ||
*Only one of the last 3 syllables can be stressed. | *Only one of the last 3 syllables can be stressed. | ||
*the last heavy syllable is stressed if not the final syllable; if there is a final heavy syllable, the penult is stressed. (e.g. ''burgent'' [ˈbʊɚdʒænt]) | *the last heavy syllable is stressed if not the final syllable; if there is a final heavy syllable, the penult is stressed. (e.g. ''burgent'' [ˈbʊɚdʒænt]) | ||
*If no heavy syllables, the 3rd from last is stressed. | *If no heavy syllables, the 3rd from last is stressed. | ||
Stress is marginally phonemic in Nurian, due to the loss of vowel length preceding /r/. | |||
