I. Similarly constructed syllables. 

 2 syllables in a word; tbe stress is the same in both syllables: 



[ita]^ [sak-o]~ [wÄ-o] ^ [crta-]* [u-toq]^ [kuÅ-oq]^ 

 [sus-oq] ^ [ik-e-] ^ [ap-a-] ^ 



In the following words, the stress is sometimes weakened 

 in one of the syllables, so the stress is uncertain: 



[kina]^^> [sOna]^^ [sua]'- [nuna]''^ [siko]'^ [ise]'^ 



2 syllables in a word; final stress (the last syllable stronger 

 than the first) : 



[tik^eqy^ [qanhq]''' [ankry^ [qil^''> [заиЩ-'' [ndfa -у'- 

 [аш'е-]22 [tds^eq]^''' [is^eq^' [a/'eç]" [ap^t]-^ [eq'ey- [>ш/е, 

 ■>ts,q^e]^^ 



3 syllabes in a word; the same stress on them all (or a slight 

 tendency to weaken the middle stress a little): 



[takisùtY^ [nitlia]'^'^ [2Х(пга]'^' [2}((m?ia]''^^ [aivof[a]^^ 

 [ikane]'^* [täs-o-na]'^^ [ke"drtdq]^^ [un-unrät]^'' [эг?гфчг] ^^ 

 [««•arweg-] ^^ [o'nvåH-aq] '^'^ [nù-sù-tcr]*' [erqerqoq]*^ 



3 syllables in a word ; weak final stress : 



[qupiw^a-] *^ [atar/^o] ^* [pami^dq] *^ [séqin^eq] *'^ 



4 or more syllables in a word; the same stress on them all 

 (or a slight tendency to difïerentiate as indicated in the bra- 

 ckets): 



' over yonder! (toward the north) ^ weapon, implement ^ dried meat 

 * his or her grandfather * a seal which has crept up (on the ice) * thumb 

 ' never mind! ^~' (interjections) '" who ^' what " the air, the weather
