law of the penult

if ( penult.isHeavy() ) { stress(penult); } else { stress(antepenult); }

monosyllables: stress only syllable

disyllables: stress first syllable

longer words: if penult is heavy, stress it otherwise, stress the antepenult

we don’t often mark stress,

but when we do,we use an acute
