When pronouncing words, the division between syllables in the case of a consonant cluster at a syllable boundary is done by equally splitting the consonants if an even cluster, or putting 1 more consonant in the 2nd syllable if an odd cluster. The only exception to this method is with glides, which as stated above, attach to the preceding consonant and behave as 1 unit. | |||

Word stress in Indeyivroplu falls by default on the ultimate syllable of the final stem, so never on the inflection, with verbs as the exception. This means: ultimate syllable for verbs and proper names; but penultimate for all other parts of speech (noun/adj./adv./pronoun/conj./prep./interj.). This rule can only be broken through the usage of an acute diacritic (á,é,ế,í,ó,ú) on an earlier syllable for stress. | Word stress in Indeyivroplu falls by default on the ultimate syllable of the final stem, so never on the inflection, with verbs as the exception.
