A special case of alternation are the collective nouns which are formed using the circumfix e-[root]-t, where, if the final phoneme of the root word is an elongated non-nasal consonant or a consonant cluster, the entire final consonant cluster becomes a ''stófð'': | |||
: ''efjællt'' [əˈfjæ:ˀ], "mountain range" | |||
: ''efuglt'' [ə̯ˈfu:ˀ], "poultry, birds" | |||
but | |||
: ''ebejnt'' [əˈbai̯nt], "skeleton, bones". | |||

Dogrish stress is phonemic in nature and not always easily predictable. Nevertheless, some general rules exist. | |||
# Stress never falls on an affix, nor does it fall on the final syllable of a regular verb in any of its conjugated iterations: | |||
## ''umöglig'' [uˈmø:li], "impossible" | |||
## ''kyrkelös'' [ˈky:kəløs], "churchless" | |||
# Stress never falls on a syllable following a ''stófð''; if, within a sentence, the first syllable of a word is stressed but follows a ''stófð'' in the previous word, a devoiced schwa is interfixed: | |||
## ''han skyljet ikke'' [ˈhɑn ˌskyljˀɯ̥.ˈiˀə], "he will not". | |||
# Stress always falls on the pitch accent if a word has one. | |||
