79: Stress falls on the initial syllable if it is heavy, on the second if the initial is light. (Hayes 1980:79)
1913 Strong, W.M. (1913-14). The Rora and Mekeo Languages of British New Guinea. In: Zeitschrift für kolonialsprachen 4, pp 286.
  In words with two syllables stress is on the first syllable. In words with three syllables the accent is on the first syllable if it contains a dipthong but otherwise on the second syllable. In words with more than three syllables the accent is on the third syllable. (Strong 1913-14: 286)
