Prosody and Stress
A heavy syllable is defined as one with a diphthong, long vowel, or one that closes with a consonant. There are no superheavy syllables (though, there are some rare exceptions) within Pataari, as in one that has a diphthong or long vowel and closes with a consonant. So, with VV beeing a diphthong, the sylable structure follows as:
V | CV
VV | CVV
VC | CVV
A word must at least have two light syllables or one heavy one, and never end with a consonant. Stress is marked by a higher pitch on either the first heavy syllable or first light syllable if there are no heavy syllables are within the word. Every following heavy syllable carries secondary stress after that, or every other light syllable -- the final light syllable is never stressed.
