149-162: A heavy penult always receives the main stress.Secondary stress falls on all initial syllables that do not already bear main stress. If the final syllable is heavy and the penultimate light stress is final. If both final and penultimate are light stress is antepenultimate if this is heavy otherwise penult. Monomoraic words do not occur. (Hayes 1995:149-162)
