===Stress===
Mam has weight sensitive stress assignment.{{sfn|England|1983|pp=37-38}} Primary stress falls on the long vowel in a word if there is one, e.g. {{lang|mam|aq'ú:ntl}} 'work'. Words without a long vowel assign primary stress to the vowel preceding the last glottal stop, e.g. {{lang|mam|puʔláʔ}} 'dipper'. Words without a long vowel or a glottal stop assign stress to the vowel preceding the last consonant in the root, e.g. {{lang|mam|xpicháqʼ}} 'raccoon'. Stress is not assigned to suffixes or enclitics that do not have long vowels or a glottal stop.
