Ba'eni: Phonology: Fixed Stress Locations: Penultimate
The majority of words are accented on the second-to-last syllable, with the following complications: • For the purposes of this rule, V₁ʔV₁ counts as a single syllable. Thus, bawánzuʔu, ʔenwaraháʔari • Inflected forms of words may sometimes retain the accent of the citation form. • Clitic chains involving ba may be accented either on the penult or on the first syllable. Bákutu, bakútu. • A few words simply have anomalous lexical accents: e.g. digepí, ʔiná, numú
