Stress is usually found on root syllables of words (root accentuation principle); usually this is the first syllable in a word, e.g. '' | Stress is usually found on root syllables of words (root accentuation principle); usually this is the first syllable in a word, e.g. '''''hwá'''''-''záh'', '''''wan'''''-''sás''. In compounds, the first element receives primary stress regularly according to the root accentuation principle, the following element receives a slightly weaker secondary stress, e.g. '''''hrá'''ri'''wi'''nih''. This is however not true with verbal compounds - the stress falls then on the first syllable of the verbal element. | ||
