Every word ends in a part-of-speech vowel sorta like Esperanto/Ido, and they are drawled out as in French, since the final syllable always gets the accent. I find the code for this is "1R": http://www-cogsci.psych.ox.ac.uk/~todd/ : The Stress System Database currently contains information : on the patterns of primary (word) stress in some 190 languages. : This database was derived originally from the list of : primary stress systems compiled in Bailey (1995), : Nonmetrical Constraints on Stress .
