A compound word which is bisyllabic can also be Primary + zero or secondary + primary.Trisyllables might not be words, their patterning is:-secondary + secondary + Primary-secondary + Primary + zero-secondary + zero + Primary-Primary + zero + zeroHansen et. al. 1977:33-35.Only syllables with tone can be stressed, but they do not have to be.
