===Stress===
Each word has primary [[stress (linguistics)|stress]] on its first [[syllable]], except for [[enclitic]]s (minor, monosyllabic, unstressed syllables). In all words of more than two syllables, every odd-numbered syllable receives secondary stress. Stress is unrelated to vowel length; both long and short vowels can be stressed or unstressed.<ref>{{Harvnb|Harkins|1952|p=12}}</ref> Vowels are never reduced (e.g. to [[schwa]] sounds) when unstressed.<ref>{{Harvnb|Harkins|1952|p=9}}</ref> When a noun is preceded by a monosyllabic preposition, the stress usually moves to the preposition, e.g. {{lang|cs|'''do''' Prahy}} "to Prague".<ref>{{cite web |title=Sound Patterns of Czech |url=https://fonetika.ff.cuni.cz/en/czech-phonetics/ |website=Charles University Institute of Phonetics |access-date=3 November 2021}}</ref>
