 ====Stress====
-Thulean has stress accent. Primary stress falls within the root. Open syllables are light, closed syllables are heavy. Fortis obstruents or syllable onset clusters do not close the preceding syllable. If the first syllable of a root is heavy then the primary stress falls there otherwise it falls upon the second syllable of the root. In compound nouns, the primary stress falls within the second root.
