David, Mark and others,
Maybe one could analyse <hiccup>/<hiccough> as two syllables with primary
stress on the first and secondary stress on the second. I seem tohave a
contrast between <hiccup> ['hik,Up], but <hiccupping> ['hik@pIN]. But I've
not got the slightest idea whether that's just my idiolect or whether this
is more widely spread.
