1957 Bright, William. (1957). The Karok Language. Berkeley: University of California Press.
  There is mention of weak stress, but that seems a phonetic effect of accent. The language has tone (author calls this accent).
13: Strong stress occurs in unaccented sequences preceded by juncture and followed by pause. If a long voweled syllable is present, the stress falls on it. Otherwise the stress falls on the final syllable. (Bright 1957:13)
