 ==== Stress ====
-Most words consist of just one syllable. Otherwise the stress is always placed on the first syllable of the root in Black Speech. This rule also affects compound words (//N**a**zgûl//). In Nûrlam main stress is shifted when adding [[clitics]] to the end of the word. First syllable remains under secondary stress. In example //burzum// (the darkness) + //ishi// (in) = //burzum**__i__**shi// (in the darkness). Joining a clitic to the beginning of the word (//dag**__i__**mb// = I find), adding prefix (like //nar**__i__**sh// = ally), derivational (for example //b**__u__**rzum// = darkness) or inflectional suffix (i.e. //gl**__o__**bûrz// = filthy) doesn't change the stress position. These rules allow to resolve possible ambiguity of some clitic with grammar function and compound word.
