 ====Stress====
-====Intonation====
+Stress almost universally occurs on the last syllable. Stress is usually not contrastive, except for the words ''Xeke'' [ʃeˈ.ke] (car) and ''Xeke'' ['ʃe.ke] ''Check''.
+====Accent====
+Intonation occurs via ''pitch-promenance'', i.e the pitch of the stressed syllable is different than the syllables surrounding it. The stressed syllable is always somewhat higher than nonstressed syllables.
