Rules of Stress in Frangléi

Stress is on:

The final syllable for:

Singular forms and past tense (-a) of verbs.

Adjectives, except when final syllable= ends in a vowel.

Impersonal nouns, except when final sy= llable ends in a vowel.

Nouns ending in -al, -el, -er, -ic, -iq, -iſm, -iſt, -ment, and –ry.

Syllables in which the vowel is accent= ed, either acute [´] or grave [`], though use of the grave accent is relatively rare.

The penultimate (next to last) syllable= for:

Nouns and adjectives where final sylla= ble ends in a vowel, including all personal nouns not in the neuter gende= r.

Plural forms of verbs.

Nouns ending in -age, -ion, and -tom.

Equal stress on two final syllables

Words ending in two vowels, such as filii and créé.

The first syllable for:

Adverbs

When first syllable shows comparison or quality (such as maxim-, bon-, or male-).

Numbers

Units of measure and the word hundr= eð.

Months of the French Revolutionary Cal= endar.

Nouns ending in –rut.
