Among consonants other than " l ", practice varies for some words, such as where the final syllable has secondary stress or an unreduced vowel.
32.
Ordinarily, in each such word there will be exactly one syllable with primary stress, possibly one syllable having secondary stress, and the remainder are unstressed.
33.
Secondary stress occurs when a word contains two or more primary stressed syllables, in which case all but one primary stress is reduced to secondary.
34.
(Note : in all above examples, primary stress remains on the second word, while secondary stress remains on the first word, independently of tone changes.
35.
However, in other languages the placement of secondary stress is not predictable, or may not be predictable ( and thus be phonemic ) for some words.
36.
In addition, amongst sequences of clitics suffixed to a verb, the rightmost clitic may receive secondary stress, e . g . " b�scalo " ('look for it').
37.
Polysyllabic words can, in addition to the syllable with primary stress, have syllables with secondary stress, unstressed syllables, or a combination of both unstressed and secondarily-stressed syllables.
38.
The first syllable of the first part of a compound had the strongest stress, with progressively weaker secondary stress for the first syllables of the remaining parts.
39.
The suffix, as can be expected, has tertiary stress, but the penultimate syllable also has tertiary stress, even though it would be expected to have secondary stress.
40.
Generally, every alternate syllable before and after the primary stress will receive relative stress, as far secondary stress placements allow : W?. gY . n?. ngYn.
