Occasionally words have ultimate stress. This occurs most commonly on two-syllable words but does have exceptions. 
Occasional situations occur wherein the first syllable of a multisyllabic word is stressed following a single syllable word which is left unstressed. This occurs in phrases and common parts of speech. For example the greeting "Kipe. I svare." would be stressed thusly: kiPE. i SVAre.
