1970 Langdon, Margaret. 1970. A grammar of Dieguen~o: The Mesa Grande dialect. Berkeley:University of California Press.
15-16: Ultimately stress has its origin in the morphology. Root morphemes are inherently stressed and all others are unstressed. Words in citation form (i.e. without affixes) have stress on the last syllable. Most suffixes in Diegueño consist only of a consonant. The rule for derived words can be stated as follows: stress the last syllable of the word, unless its vowel is both final and short or /@/, in which case stress the penultimate syllable whose vowel is not /@/. (Langdon 1970:15-16)
