  Stress is predictable from syllable and segmental structure. It falls on an initial syllable, syllables preceding a syllable with a schwa, and non-final syllables preceded by an unstressed syllable. Stress does not fall on a final syllable, syllables with a schwa, and syllables following a stressed syllable unless they precede a syllable with a schwa. Most typically, the first syllable of each two-syllable string is stressed, or in other words, the stress falls on non-final odd syllables. (Salminen 1999)
