tkd says: "In a verb, the stressed syllable is usually the verb itself, as opposed to any prefix or suffix. If, however, a suffix ending with {'} is separated from the verb by at least one other suffix, both the verb and the suffix ending in {'} are stressed" So: 1. If I have {yajbe'} only the {-be'} is stressed 2. If I have {yajlaHbe'} both {yaj} and {-be'} will be equally stressed Are the above correct ? Also: 1. If I have a two-syllable verb, which doesn't contain a {'}, and doesn't have any suffixes, then where do I place the stress ? 2. With regards to the interrogative suffix {-'a'}; is it stressed as any other suffix which bears the {'}, or is it stressed with the "voice rising" as you would ask for instance "do you see the cat ?" ~ nI'ghma
