With minor exceptions, stress is predictable and therefore non-phonemic. Stress falls on the penultimate syllable of the word, whether it is a root or a derivation. The only exceptions are certain vowel sequences and words containing the clitic -a. Secondary stress can be heard on the fourth and sixth syllable from the end; stress therefore seems to spread out evenly over the word in rhythmic patterns. (van de Berg 1989)
