5: There are two types of syllables in Khmu words: main syllables and presyllables. A main syllable is the syllable that occurs alone as a monosyllabic word or as the last syllable of a disyllabic or trisyllabic word. It is always stressed. Its vowel has full quality. The presyllable, the syllable that comes before the main syllable, is always unstressed and very weak.. (Premsrirat 1987:5)
