quenya_grammar1-2  Exercise 1: Stress by Rule (built by rule)
=============================================================

Rule: 2 syllables = first. 3 or more = second-to-last if heavy (long vowel,
diphthong, or ends in a consonant), otherwise third-to-last.

  Aldudénië   al-du-dé-ni-ë     5 syllables; "ni" is light; third-to-last "dé"
                                has a long vowel  -> al-du-DÉ-ni-ë
  Eärendil    e-ä-ren-dil       4 syllables; "ren" ends in a consonant, so it
                                is heavy          -> eä-REN-dil
  Helcaraxë   hel-ca-rax-ë      4 syllables; "rax" ends in a consonant (x = ks)
                                                  -> hel-ca-RAX-ë
  Quenya      quen-ya           2 syllables       -> QUEN-ya

Syllable divisions are the course's own; stress marks are built by rule,
not taken from a source.
