Weight-sensitive
Stress is based on syllable weight (more specifically, presence of a coda consonant).
The default stress location is on the penult, but over 30% of words are stressed elsewhere.
Most roots are monosyllabic, but the bisyllabic roots that do exist take final stress. Compound words take stress on the first morpheme.
There is no phonemic stress. Stress is subject to the locutor's habits of speaking.
variant location of syllabic stress is primary distinguishing feature of dialects and non-native speaker accents
