  Grinevald, Colette. A grammar of Rama. Unpublished draft ms.
  Stress involves pitch. All stresses are equally prominent. The last foot in a sequence does not receive stress. All heavy syllables andsequences of two light syllables receive stress. Light syllables that follow a heavy syllable and are followed by another light syllable do receive stress. (Grinevald)
