115: Stress a superheavy ultimate, otherwise stress a heavy penult, or stress the penult or antepenult, whichever is separated by an even number of syllables from the rightmost non-final heavy syllable. If there is no non-final heavy syllable then count from the left edge of the word. (Hayes 1980:115)
