====Stress====

Stress ~~always~~ falls on the ~~penultimate~~ syllable, with no ~~exceptions~~.

Stress usually falls on the ultimate or final syllable, unless otherwise shown. If the stress falls on a syllable other than the last syllable, it is shown with an acute (´) above the nucleus of the syllable and the following vowel will be destressed (ə). A long vowel (aa, ii, uu) will always take on stress, no matter the placement in a word, however, the following syllable does not become destressed as with other situations.
