===Stress===
Stress is generally on the first syllable of a word. However, in verbs it occurs on the second syllable when the first syllable is a [[clitic]] (the verbal prefix {{lang|sga|as-}} in {{lang|sga|as·beir}} {{IPA|/asˈberʲ/}} "he says"). In such cases, the unstressed prefix is indicated in grammatical works with a following [[interpunct|centre dot]] ({{vr|·}}).
