It wil be observed that, in those languages of the Shoshonee family which we have been 
considering, the place of the accent is reckoned, not from the end, as in the classical tongues, 
but from the beginning of the word. In Comanche the accent is on the first syllable, with but 
few exceptions, as when a possessive pronoun is prefixed. Sometimes there is a secondary 
accent; this appears, for the most part, when the word contains more than four syllables, and 
is generally placed on the fifth from the beginning, as te-ith-tis-chi-ho'-no, valley. In Cheme- 
huevi and Cahuillo the accent is less regular: but in the former it is usually on the second 
syllable; and in the latter, on the first.
