  In words without a desinence it is possible to have stress on the penult if the final syllable is closed, although this pattern must be considered marked in all the romance languages. Vowel-ending desinenceless words are usually stressed on the ultima. In words with a desinence the unmarked pattern is for the penultimate syllable to be stressed even when it is open (i.e. light). To explain this pattern one could postulate an accenting rule affecting the rightmost metrical element. This procedure will yield stem-final stress irrespective of the lightness of that syllable. Stem prefinal stress can be derived by means of a lexical exception marking in the appropriate form, since in the absence of stem-final accenting a leftheaded binary foot is created. In verbs stress has become morphologised. (Roca forthc.)
