  Stress is morphologically determined. Most stems and affixes are monosyllabic. They bear stress on the basis of lexical marking and combinatorial rules: strong suffixes bear stress, if not present the strong root gets it, if that is not present, variable suffixes get stress, and if all else fails weak roots receive stress, weak affixes are never stressed. (Carlson 1989)
