16: Stress falls on the first long vowel of a word, this is always the first or the second syllable. Words with only short syllables do not exist. Secondary stress falls on the other long vowels. In a long sequence of those, the odd numbered ones tend to be more heavily stressed than the even numbered ones (Broadbent 1964:16)
