Syllable StructureIn almost all cases, syllables are CV, with the vowel being written as an accent of sorts on the consonant character. If placed after an apostrophe in an affix or within a word, a vowel can exist on its own syllable. Pluralization as well as the conjugation of all verbs involves CVC syllables and are two of the only examples of their existence in Tekalese.
Stress informationIn words with two syllables or less, the first vowel is stressed. In words with three syllables or more, the second to last vowel is stressed. Apostrophes within words reset stress.
