66,109: Stress is initial except in cases where the first vowel is short and the second vowel is long. Secondary stress on long vowels. (Hayes 1980:66,109)
109: Secondary stress on long vowels, can be derived by constructing an additional layer of metrical structure between the binary feet and the word tree. The tree in this layer would be LD, UB constructed on the vowel projection. (Hayes 1980:109)
