Accentuation
In dissyllables or trisyllables the accent
usually lies on the first syllable which forms the
radical part of the word Hence the accent on the first
syllable is retained even in longer words which
require more than one accent. A word of four syll-
ables has its second accent on the third [indecipherable]
penultimate syllable, a word of five
also on the third or antepenultimate syllable
words of six syllables & upwards have
three accents on the first & third and ante-
penultimate or even fourth syllable from
the termination as [indecipherable] is shown in the [indecipherable]
or Indefinite future & the Too morrow's future.
In the last case the [word crossed out] ultimate and penultimate
syllables are pronounced in rapid succession
The Imperative of the 2nd Verb: Sing: makes exception
having sometimes the accent on the 1st syllable &
so does the [indecipherable] form of the first Person
invariably require the accent in the last syl-
lable containing the Postfix Pronoun. The [indecipherable]
Verbal noun likewise has often the accent
on its last syllable or characteristic form-
mation. A few other exceptions may be [indecipherable]
by the emphasis intended to be put. Example
yar-ra To speak. dalgirri, shall eat, [indecipherable]
muana, Bumallagirri, yarraingarugirri
Ngillengngarriawagirri, Yan_na [indecipherable words]
