===Stress=== Words are generally stressed on the vowel before the final consonant:<ref>{{Cite web |title=Cosmoglotta A, 1929, p. 165 |url=http://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=e0g&datum=1929&page=169&size=45 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415020104/https://anno.onb.ac.at/cgi-content/anno-plus?aid=e0g&datum=1929&page=169&size=45 |archive-date=15 April 2021 |access-date=19 October 2020}}</ref> intercal'''ar''', par'''ol''', '''for'''me. Pluralizing a noun does not change the stress: par'''ol'''es, '''for'''mes. The endings '''-bil''', '''-ic''', '''-im''', '''-ul''' and '''-um''' do not change the stress (even when more than one is present in a single word), nor does the adverbial ending -men: ra'''pid'''men, '''dup'''lic, bon'''iss'''im, '''sin'''gul, poss'''i'''bil, '''max'''imum, sta'''tis'''ticas. Two vowels together are diphthongized and do not count as two syllables for the purpose of stress: fa'''mil'''ie, po'''ten'''tie, unless the word is a single consonant or consonant cluster followed by two vowels: d'''i'''e, d'''e'''o. Compound words are stressed based on the last word in the compound: hod'''i'''e, substr'''a'''e. In cases where the accent is irregular, it is indicated by an accent: caf'''é''', '''í'''npossibil, numer'''ó''', n'''ú'''mere, felicit'''á'''.<ref name="pbgrammar" /> The accent mark may also be used for emphasis as needed: '''Yó ea con la (ne tú)'''.<ref name="pbgrammar" />
