  Stress generally falls (noncontrastively) on the initial syllable and a secondary stress falls on the last syllable of the phrase. In words of three or more syllables the primary stress may fall on either the first or the second syllable. There are no accentual oppositions. It is not clear whether the alternations between initial and pen-initial stress serves pragamtic or rhythmic functions in these varieties. (Hualde forthcoming)
