  It is not predictable whether stress occurs on the penultimate or the ultimate syllable of monomorphemic words. Penultimate stress, however, is most common in Kola. It should be noted that stress only falls on the root and never on affixes or clitics. In addition, stress does not occur beyond the penult of the root.
