Vowels preceding ''r'' may appear as rhotic (especially in the genitive endings). | |||
===Stress=== | |||
Quite often Aoma places primary stress on the second syllable in words with both two and three syllables. The stressed vowels appear as more open and at front. Mostly the stress supports the word inflection. | |||
*In declined nouns, stress is placed on the last syllable. | |||
**In dative forms, final ''ee'' is always stressed. | |||
*Adjectives with ''ri'' ending have the stress on that particular syllable. | |||
