I don't even bother trying to put in Kernu accents when giving texts here, for the simple fact that I tend to end up with a mangled text that has no accents or else strange character groups. They are there, though, and used to indicate an irregular stress, such as ultimate stress in -n stem nouns: comessio' (dinner party, feast), couba' (cigar), etc.; and in variable stress verb forms: tenem (I hold), with initial stress, and tine'mus (we hold).
