highvalyrian1-2  Exercise 3: Applying the Stress Rule
=====================================================

(Heavy = a long vowel or a final consonant, as the chapter suggests.)

valar      va-lar     The final r does not count. The penultimate syllable
                      is va, which is short and has no heavy syllable
                      before it, so stress is on the first syllable:
                      VA-lar.
morghūlis  mor-ghū-lis  The final s does not count. The penultimate
                      syllable ghū has a long vowel, so it is heavy and
                      takes the stress: mor-GHŪ-lis.

(The first is a straightforward two-syllable case; the second shows the
macron attracting the stress.)
