  Stress in Jaqaru is non-phonemic. It normally occurs on the penultimate vowel of the word and is frequently accompanied by a rise in pitch. In words of three vowels or more, a secondary stress occurs before the main stress. Hardman (1966:26).Vowel length is phonemic: c'aka 'bone' vs. c'a:ka 'chest'.
