1988 Marlett, S.A. (1988). The Syllable Structure of Seri. IJAL 54:3, 245-278.
  Stress generally occurs on the leftmost syllable of the root (Marlett:252). If the root contains a complex nucleus it bears main stress. Unstressed syllables cannot contain complex nuclei (Marlett:253). Therefore these syllables must have secondary stress.
