82: Polysyllabic roots fall into two groups: if a root contains at least one stress attracting syllable, that is a syllable of structure (C)VC or (C)V:, the stress is placed on the last stress attracting syllable. If a root contains no stress attracting syllables, generally the final syllable is stressed. There are exceptional bisyllabic (C)VCe forms with initial stress. (Maslova 1999:82)
