Seems more than possible that Old Cukish described a musical accent, but by the first times of the Commonwealth Empire the accent turned tonal, as in Staynish and Impelanzan. This tonal accent is marked by an acute over the vowel it stresses, thus being á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, and, in the case of diphthongs, ái, éi, éo. Cukish avoids as much as possible paroxytone |
Seems more than possible that Old Cukish described a musical accent, but by the first times of the Commonwealth Empire the accent turned tonal, as in Staynish and Impelanzan. This tonal accent is marked by an acute over the vowel it stresses, thus being á, é, í, ó, ú, ý, and, in the case of diphthongs, ái, éi, éo. Cukish avoids as much as possible paroxytone roots, this meaning word roots stressed on the third-to-last syllable. The only case when this can be found is in roots that are undoubtedly paroxytone, or in words marked by multiple suffixes. The most usual is, hence, roots stressed on the last or second-to-last syllables, while paroxytone words usually indicate suffixation. |
