 Primitive Elvish - where it all began
Already in the very first Elvish wordlist, the "Qenya Lexicon" of 1915, the words were derived from "primitive roots" (as in the Etymologies).
Even in the Etymologies, primitive Elvish remains a somewhat shadowy entity whose prime function is to clarify the relationship between the various branches of Elvish and serve as the historical basis of them all, rather than being an "art-language" in itself.
From these examples it is clear that in Primitive Elvish, accent was not determined by the form of the word (as is generally the case in Quenya and Sindarin).
