1970 Capell, A. (1970). Stress and intonation. In: Oates, H.H.J. & L. Oates (eds.) A Grammar of Ngarinjin: Western Australia. Australian Aboriginal Studies 25. Linguistics Series 10, AIATSIS Canberra.
7: Single morpheme words are stressed on the first syllable unless the second has a long vowel. Prefixation does not alter the stress. In four syllable words, an alternative pattern with penultimate stress and initial secondary stress occurs. A suffix does not advance stress in nouns, but in verbs it may. In words consisting of more morphemes the stress is on the root.. (Capell 1970:7)
