  In words without a desinence it is by no means uncommon to have stress on the penult if the final syllable is closed. Vowel-ending desinenceless words are usually stressed on the ultima. In words with a desinence the unmarked pattern is for the penultimate syllable to be stressed. In Italian stressed vowels in penultimate open syllables correlate phonetically with extra length. In verbs stress has become morphologised. (Roca forthc.)
