1942 Strehlow, T. (1942). Arrandic Phonetics. Oceania XII, pp.255-302.
  Bisyllabic words have stress on the first syllable. All other words have main stress on the first syllable that begins with a consonant (this is never beyond the second syllable). Secondary stress occurs on alternate syllables after the main stress but not on the final. (Strehlow 1942)
