  As a rule, the penultimate syllable of a word has the primary stress. If the penultimate syllable has a /@/ and is open, the stress falls on the final syllable. If the syllable is closed, however, the stress is penultimate. Reduplications have an equally strong stress on bot members. (Neumann 1922)
