Answers to Predicting Stress Groups Practice
|
Directions: Indicate where stress would normally fall on the following words.
Traditionally, the final stress of a word receives an acute accent mark
(’), and all preceding stresses receive a grave accent mark (‘).
Feel free to refer back to the rules mentioned in this section; this is an exercise that helps the stress guidelines sink in, not a test that makes sure you remember what they are. |
Example:
|
| 1. makika (mosquito) | = | makíka |
| 2. ‘iole (mouse/rat) | = | ‘ióle |
| 3. pāpa‘i (crab) | = | pàa.pá‘i |
| 4. ‘ō‘io (bonefish/ladyfish) | = | ‘òo.‘ío |
| 5. ae‘o (stilt bird) | = | áe‘o |
| 6. laehaokela (rhinoceros) | = | làe.hào.kéla |
| 7. palaoa (sperm whale)) | = | paláoa |
| 8. manō (shark) | = | manóo |
| 9. pāpulō (buffalo) | = | pàapulóo |
| 10. mākinikā (monkey) | = | màa.kìni.káa |
