Cayuga Pattern - 23@sR Primary, i(H',LX')L, no 1R Secondary
Primary stress pattern
SPC: 23@sR
In words of three or more syllables, primary stress falls on the penultimate syllable if it has secondary stress, else on the antepenultimate syllable if it has secondary stress.
SPC: 1/0L
In words of two or fewer syllables, primary stress falls on the initial syllable if it is heavy, else stress is not placed.
Secondary stress pattern
SPC: i(H',LX')L, no 1R
In words of three or more syllables, secondary stress falls on all heavy syllables. In sequences of light syllables, secondary stress falls on the even numbered syllables, counting from the left edge of the sequence. Secondary stress does not fall on the final syllable.
SPC: None
In words of two or fewer syllables, there is no secondary stress. This is deliberately ambiguous between "none reported" in a source and "verifiably none".

Light monosyllables do not occur.
Finite State Acceptors
The format for the acceptors below is start states, final states, and transitions.
The labels indicate the syllable weight and level of stress.
For example, w0.s2 means a syllable of weight 0 with primary stress; w1.s1 means a
syllable of weight 1 with secondary stress and so on.

Stress Pattern Generator
In order to use the Stress Pattern Generator, use numbers between 0 and 1 delimited by spaces in the box below. These numbers represent syllables in a word. The number corresponds to the weight of the syllable, 0 being the lightest, and 1 being the heaviest. When the "Find Stress" Button is clicked, a new page will open with the stresses for the word indicated.
Example input:
A three syllable word in a language with weight of 2 and the heaviest syllable being the middle would be represented as "0 1 0".
