  In Oñati, the regular accentual pattern in words whose stem contains three or more syllables is stress on the second syllable. A given word is accented on the same syllable in all forms of its inflectional pardigm. With bisyllabic stems, however, the regular pattern is for the stress to fall on the initial syllable of the uninflected form and the second of longer, inflected forms. There is a smaller group of bisyllabic stems with initial stress in all forms. Stress is also initial in words whose stem is monosyllabic, regardless of the number of syllables that the entire word with inflectional suffixes may have. Many derived words with a monosyllabic root also present initial stress. We must conclude that the basic rule of stress assignment assigns stress to the second syllable. Now, the fact that words with monosyllabic roots have initial stress indicates that the stem (from which many derivational suffixes are also excluded), and not the whole word is the domain of stress assignment..
