=== Stress/Accent === | |||
Stress in Minhast is syllable-timed; it is not a pitch-accent language. | |||
Assuming a word contains at least three syllables, accent can be reliably predicted to fall on one of the last three syllables. It always falls on the last heavy syllable, defined as a (C)VVC or (C)VCC syllable. Otherwise, the accent falls on the antepenult. The same is true for two-syllable words: the last heavy syllable receives primary stress. | |||
