111-121: In level tone words, the pattern is simple. The final syllable gets main stress and all alternates before it get secondary stress. When there are both high and low tones in a word, the pattern is more complicated. The last high tone gets main stress. All alternates before it and the last syllable and alternates before it get secondary stress. (Enrico 1991:111-121)
