Syllable Structure(C)(j)V(V)(C)+r, where C is a consonant, j is /j/, V is a vowel, and r is /ɾ/. V, sonorant coda C, and ɾ add 1 mora each.
Stress informationMost often, the penultimate syllable is accented. If the antepenultimate syllable has 2 or more morae, and the penultimate syllable does not, then the antepenultimate syllable is accented. If not, and the ultimate syllable ends in a glottal stop, it is accented.
OtherPitch accent falls on the first mora of stressed syllables in single-morpheme words. In Pahang Rokadong, this is a high tone on the accented mora, and a falling tone on the subsequent mora. Affixes are effectively nikjairi (unaccented). In compound words, only the primary morpheme is accented. In full and rhyming reduplicated words, both morphemes are accented.
