248-251: Before final CV, posttonic CVC is not stressed (see exc. pattern). Lack of perceived stress on final syllables is attributed by Hayes to the intonational system. (Hayes 1995:248-251)

33: Long vowels are stressed; CVC in initial position is always stressed. A closed syllable preceding an open, light, non-final syllable is stressed. In sequences of CVC this results in an alternating count (this can be derived by destressing under clash; Hayes). Non-final syllables following unstressed syllables are stressed.Unstressed remaining syllables preceding heavy syllables are stressed.. (Jacobson 1985:33)
