1981 Hayes, Bruce. 1981. A metrical theory of stress rules. 1980. Ph.D. thesis, MIT.
68: Stress the rightmost heavy syllable that is non-final, otherwise the initial syllable. (Hayes 1980:68)
1960 Armbruster, C. (1960). Dongolese Nubian: A Grammar. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge.
95: Syllables heavy (CVV, CVC) or light (CV). In words with only light syllables, stress is initial. Final CVC syllables count as light, final CVVC as heavy. If the word contains a heavy syllable, it gets stress. If it contains more than one heavy syllable, the rightmost of those gets the stress. (Armbruster 1960:95)
