Stress is always on the last heavy syllable. In some dialects, there are both light and heavy codas—e.g. -s and -n in Anantea following a short vowel are light—but in standard Eileci, there are not, and all syllables with a coda are considered heavy.
+
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.
