Pomorian is a pitch-accented language. The stess is free meaning that any syllable of the word can be stressed, though usually the place of streess is predictable. A stressed syllable can be pronounced in two (in some dialects - in three) different ways. One way is a falling accent - ''tvírdagalså'' -, which can be long - ''dìlgå'' (marked with an acute) - or short - ''cẽrtå'' (marked with a grave). The second way is a rising accent - ''lìkugalså'' (marked with a circumflex or a tilde). ''Tvírdagalså'' translates literally as firm stress, and ''lìkugalså'' - light stress. Despite the stress is phonemic it is not written, except dictionaries. For example the word ''"úokte"'' means tall but ''"uõkte"'' means full of force, lusty. | |||
