435: Every alternate mora is stressed. The first gets main stress in words without long vowels (diphthongs count as one mora). If the second vowel is long and the first is short, primary stress falls on the second syllable. If the final vowel should get a secondary stress according to the alternate count, it optionally receives that stress, if it does not the vowel is devoiced. (Dayley 1989:435)
