1981 Hayes, Bruce. 1981. A metrical theory of stress rules. 1980. Ph.D. thesis, MIT.

Secondary stress on alternate syllables before and after a main stress. (Hayes 1980)

126: Stress even numbered syllables if there is an even numbered syllable with a long vowel. Otherwise stress odd-numbered syllables. (Hayes 1980:126)

1977 Dixon, R.M.W. (1977). Some Phonological Rules in Yidin. In: Linguistic Inquiry 8. pp 1-34.

40-47: Stress is assigned to the first syllable involving a long vowel. If there is no long vowel, it is assigned to the first syllable of the word. Further stresses are then assigned (recursively) to the syllable next but one before, and the next but one after, a stressed syllable. Dixon 1977:40-47)

40: Main stress falls on the first syllable with a long vowel if there is any, otherwise on the first. (Dixon 1977:40)

40-47: Long vowels may never occur in two consecutive syllables, and in one word long vowels may occur in odd-numbered syllables or in even-numbered syllables but not in both. In words with an odd number of syllables long vowels can only occur in even-numbered syllables. (Dixon 1977:40-47)
