Penult - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In linguistics, the penult is the second syllable from the end of a word (for example, “tab” is the penult of the word “establish”). The penult follows the antepenult and precedes the ultimate syllable. These terms are used in the study of languages in which the lexical stress of a word changes considerably depending on the case or declension of the word (e.g. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Penult   (110 words)

Greek Accent Rules An acute accent on the antepenult moves to the penult when the ultima is long. An accute on the penult changes to a circumflex when the ultima is short. A circumflex on the penult changes to an acute when the last syllable is long. www.clas.ufl.edu /users/tjohnson/tj/Accentrules.htm   (422 words)

CROQUET: Triple Peeling Opportunities The penult pioneer should be to the side of penult to allow a clear passage for the rush of the peelee from 4-back to penult if the straight triple peel is attempted.

How To Play - Advanced Play - The Triple Peel - Peeling Opportunities The penult peel would normally be considered on going to 4-back, although could be 'risked' going to 2- or 3-back. If peelee taken to penult after hoop 4, then you rush the reception ball to North boundary, cast it as a pioneer on hoop 6 whilst rushing the peelee closer to penult. If peelee taken to penult after 5, then the reception ball is rushed near to corner 3 and croqueted to 1-back whilst getting a rush on the peelee to penult. www.oxfordcroquet.com /coach/peeling/tpeel.asp   (2268 words)

Ancient Greek Accents It may fall on the penult if both penult and ultima are long, or if the penult is short regardless of the length of the ultima; this is called paroxytone. Conversely, an acute on the penult when you know that the ultima is short assures that the penult is also short, as in imperative "i'te" (short iota). Likewise, an acute on the penult when you know the penult is long guarantees that the ultima is long, as in "basilei'a" (long alpha). www.his.com /~wigtil/greekaccent.htm   (1454 words)

ABstract: Thomas J. Conners Primary stress in Indonesian falls on the penult of the root, and reanalyzes to remain penultimate with the addition of suffixes (1). However, in circumfixed words, stress remains on the penult of the root, that is, on the antepenult of the new prosodic word in singly affixed elements (2). If a circumfixed root is further suffixed, the stress reanalyzes to the penult of the new prosodic word (2)—the same pattern found in roots with multiple suffixation. www.ling.hawaii.edu /afla/AbConners.htm   (467 words)

Mungayöd If the penult is a long vowel, that syllable will be stressed. If all three of these syllables are short, the stress will fall on the antepenult (or on the penult, if the word only has two syllables). All of the noun articles (definite and indefinite) and most prepositions are proclitics, meaning that they have no stress of their own, and depend on a stronger word to provide a rhythmic anchor, usually the noun. members.tripod.com /microtonal/language/conlang/mungayod/reference/sec1.3.html   (357 words)

How To Play - Advanced Play - Options after the 4-back Peel going to Hoop 6 I don't want a rush on partner to penult, instead it is better to rush it off the middle of the N boundary. If before the "death-roll" attempt, you are too far from penult to be sure of at least hitting the jaws, leave it for later otherwise, as you imply, you risk not being able to get the balls organised for the penult before 4-back. The problem with option (c) is that it is pretty pointless and adds risk; penult before 2-back is a good line of play in order to get rover before 3-back, avoiding the straight rover peel. www.oxfordcroquet.com /coach/peel4b/index.asp   (1434 words)

Croquet: USCA leaves (Example 5) You could make the standard rover leave, with red near the south end of the court, yellow hidden at penult, and blue and fl near the north boundary. Double-load penult so that after running the wicket you can position yellow just north of penult with a very short croquet stroke, then rush the extra ball (fl or red, it doesn’t matter which) down to rover. Note that this sequence is identical to the standard rover leave, except that yellow is placed more carefully after penult, and that blue and fl are rolled out-of-bounds at the end. www.mindspring.com /~jsoo/articles/leaves/5.html   (608 words)

The PIL Pages - Languages   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31) When otherwise stress does not falls on the penult, it is to signal a change in content or as in some cases as a result of an ellipsis. One function of the shift of stress is to contrast a noun with the corresponding predicative adjective. In utterances long enough to carry two secondary stresses the other secondary stress seems to be placed at such a distance that the secondary stresses are in rhythmic arrangement in units of two or three syllables removed from the primary stress. www.let.leidenuniv.nl /ulcl/pil/talen/toba_batak.htm   (348 words)

Alphabet is considered short when determining the accent.  The last syllable is called the ultima, the next to the last syllable is the penult, and the second from the last is the antepenult. An acute accent on the ultima is changed to a grave if it is followed by another word (but not if it is followed by an enclitic or punctuation). Nouns and adjectives have a persistent accent which means the same accent tends to remain on the same syllable used in its singular nominative form regardless of what endings are added/subtracted.  The above table lists the exceptions to this general rule. mysite.verizon.net /bunning/SGNTI/reference.htm   (738 words)

Croquet World Online Magazine | News & Features He hits the pioneer for 4-back, which is displaced, but it enables him to rush-peel the ball in penult, and he comes down to 4-back, in the end, with the previous pilot ball at 3-back. This proves a bit of a difficulty, and after 5 there are still two balls near 4-back, though both are clear of the hoop, and both are in the game by 6. But several attempts at the penult peel fail, and it does not come about until Fulford is at penult itself, when, in the croquet stroke which does the job, Fulford's other ball hits the wire and goes to one side. www.croquetworld.com /1997Archives/Bunbury9.asp   (1825 words)

The Carnivorous Plant FAQ: Botanical Latin To determine where the accent falls in a word, you must divide it into syllables.

Accentuation of Verbs In that case, if the penult has a long vowel (or diphthong) in it, the accent will be a circumflex; if the penult's vowel is short, the accent will be an acute. Everything, then, depends on the quantity of the last syllable and so it is absolutely vital to memorize the quantity of any alpha, iota or upsilon in a verb ending. To recap the relevant ones: only an acute can stand on the antepenult and only when the ultima is short; a circumflex can only stand on a long vowel; an accented long penult must carry a circumflex before a short ultima; an accented long penult cannot carry a circumflex before a long ultima. www.classicalmyth.com /greek/recessive.html   (610 words)
