  Stress is on the last syllable of a lexeme (consisting of a root morpheme plus any affixes): Unstressed enclitics may then follow this. No function word of form V or CV carries stress. They instead cliticise to stress-bearing words to form a single phonological word, suffixes can thus be distinguished from enclitics according to whether or not they take stress. In the varieties spoken around Denpasar, stress always remains on the last syllable of the root, even when suffixes are added. (Clynes 1995)
