Suffixes carrying primary stress themselves

In the examples given, which seem to be the most common, the primary stress is on the first syllable of the suffix. If the stem consists of more than one syllable there will be a secondary stress on one of the syllables of the stem. This cannot fall on the last syllable of the stem and is, if necessary, moved to an earlier syllable. For example, in 'Japan' ʤə'æpn the primary stress is on the last syllable, but when we add the stress-carrying suffix' ese' the primary stress is on the suffix and the secondary stress is placed not on the second syllable but on the first: 'Japanese' . ʤæpə'ni:z .
