Prosody
This language has weight-sensitive stress and predictable vowel reduction. Primary stress is always on the rightmost super heavy syllable or, when no super heavy syllable is present, on the rightmost heavy syllable. Secondary stress is counted every other syllable to the left of the primary stressed syllable.
