1994 Carlson, Robert. (1994). A Grammar of Supyire. Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter.
7: In general there is one stressed syllable per lexical root. Affixes clitics and most other grammatical morphemes do not have stress, although they may combine with each other to form phonological words complete with stress. In the majority of lexical roots the initial syllable is stressed, but there are a number of roots with unstressed initial syllable. Roots usually keep their stress in compounds. (Carlson 1994:7)
