267: Stress falls on the second syllable of a word, and on the only syllable of monosyllabic words. This suggests that a single even iamb is assigned at the left edge of the word. (Hayes 1995:267)
268: The ancestor of Dakota (Common Mississippi Valley Siouan) had an ordinary iambic pattern. Dakota reached its present state by losing its long vowels; words that originally had long vowels in their initial syllable have synchronically exceptional initial stress. Hayes 1995:268)
