Summary:[...]that syllable must be in penultimate (not antepenultimate) position, and syllable position may be calculated in two ways: as in (2a) (where there is a nal vowel) or as in (2b) (where there is a nal catalectic mora).3 (2) Vowel length before lengthening consonants ([] and [r]) in stressed penult in stressed antepenult a. 'dy:a hard (FEM) 'kAIga load 'tu:ba wine sediment 'mAtII martyrb. 'kO:m dear 'meItm merit 'ty:km Turkish 'ytImm last Why do the lengthening consonants have the eect they do? Because of metrical requirements: stressed penults must be heavy. [...]the penultimate stressed syllable becomes bimoraic through vowel lengthening: ['dy:a] (3a). [...]like /sypa/ soup, on the other hand, the penult is followed by a non-lengthening consonant, /p/, which can be moraic.
